What Plytix (PIM) does that we don't
Every Plytix plan includes unlimited user seats rather than gating access per admin account.

Who should stay with Plytix (PIM)
If you need more than one admin account per installation, stay with Plytix — Specta is single-tenant with one admin account per installation. Full honest limitations are on the product page.
Why owning beats renting Plytix (PIM)
- One payment. No monthly, per-seat, or per-location fees — the license is perpetual.
- Your data stays on your server. It never lives in Plytix (PIM)'s cloud.
- No plan ceilings. Records and users are limited by your hosting, not a pricing tier.
- It keeps working if the vendor doesn't. Self-hosted software can't be sunset or price-hiked out from under you.
Fair trade-offs: you host it, back it up, and apply updates yourself — see the product page for honest limitations, and the full Specta vs Plytix (PIM) comparison.
