What to check beyond features
The Portifer column is what we offer today. We do not restate Respondent's onboarding, support terms, certifications or API, because they change and we cannot verify them; the last column is the question to ask Respondent directly.

|---|---|---|
| Onboarding | Self-Service: create an account and run campaigns yourself. Assisted and Fully Managed: our team and fulfilment partners set up warehousing, packing and shipping with you. Setup guide | Who sets up the first campaign, and what does the customer have to do? |
