Where they pull apart

d.vinci

Stands out: Flat monthly pricing by company size, with no extra charge for more users, postings, or onboardings, and support included.

Watch out: Prices are in euros only, and one-off workshop fees for setup come on top of the monthly fee. Onboarding is a separate product from €1,020/mo.

Not the right fit for

  • US SMBs that need USD pricing
  • Small teams with a tight budget

softgarden

Stands out: The German and Austrian in-house default, with a published euro starting price.

Watch out: Anything beyond the core plan moves to custom pricing, and there is no MCP.

Not the right fit for

  • US agencies
  • Teams that need MCP
