Access and total cost
Check the current plan on each linked official site. Include usage allowances, required integrations, export conditions and any separate model or hosting charges. This shortlist does not quote a numeric price or assume that a trial is a permanent free plan.
When to keep OpenSpace
Keep OpenSpace if site evidence remains accessible and inferred progress can be verified. Before replacing it, confirm which current capability you would lose and whether the replacement covers that part of your workflow.

- Use an authorised sample capture with an obscured area; inspect coverage, dates and how the team can correct a progress interpretation.
- Use the same permitted inputs in your current tool and the relevant alternative. Record corrections and manual work.
- Confirm access, output rights, data handling and the full cost for the configuration you would actually use.
