Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Plytix the #1 Sales Layer alternative?

We won’t speak for Sales Layer, but we can tell you all the ways we are different:

Our PIM was developed with small and medium businesses in mind making it a perfect solution for users who need a focus on user-friendliness and affordability. That’s because we believe that all businesses, regardless of their size, should have access to a powerful PIM solution. Unfortunately, other options in the market are either too complex or come with heafty price tags, which doesn’t work for most small and medium businesses.

At Plytix, we recognize that effective product information management is a collective effort. That's why all our plans include unlimited users, allowing your entire team to collaborate whenever they need. 

We also see our customers as a top priority. To us, our customers are more than just a number—they’re our partners. We make sure each one gets the unique and personalized service they need to grow.

What’s the difference between Plytix and Sales Layer when it comes to managing product data across multiple channels?

Plytix makes it simple to manage your product data and digital assets across multiple channels, thanks to seamless integration and an easy-to-use platform. Both Plytix and Sales Layer offer solutions for product information management and content distribution, but Plytix keeps it straightforward. With Sales Layer, you might face higher costs, and setting up requires third-party support. If you’re looking for a cost-effective PIM to handle product content across various channels without extra hassle, Plytix has you covered.

Why are your prices lower than other PIM providers?

Our prices are lower than the other big names, thanks for noticing!

Though anyone can use it, our PIM is the only one designed and priced for small to medium-sized businesses. One way we achieve that lower price is by including unlimited users in all of our plans. This helps keep our prices fair and our conscience clear since we know we're doing all we can to help you—not to squeeze every last cent out of you.

And just because our prices are lower than the enterprise-grade software out there doesn’t mean we skimp on quality. You don’t have to take our word for it—read what they’re saying about us above.

How can I start for free?

All you need to do is book a demo for a free account or for a free trial of our paid plans. Your free account will be free forever, although it won't include all of the features that our paid plans do. Your free trial of our paid plans will include all of our features and a dedicated account manager.

How does onboarding work?

When you sign up for Plytix, you’ll get the purple onboarding experience. A dedicated team to guide you throughout the entire onboarding process.

First, your implementation specialist will take care of the data migration and setup of your account according to your needs and goals. They’ll ensure that you’re set up and ready to hit the ground running.

After, you’ll meet your very own Customer Success Manager, who will train you and your team to make the most of your PIM system. They’ll be available indefinitely for all ongoing training and support that you may need and will help you become a PIM master in no time.

This tailored whiteglove approach to onboarding is required for all paid accounts.

What is an output?

“Outputs” help you share your product data outside of the PIM. You can use each output you purchase for one of the following:

  • Channels: build product feeds that automatically populate with all your product data, so you can stop manually filling out templates. 1 output = 1 product feed

  • Brand Portals: share always up-to-date online catalogs with anyone. 1 output = 1 online catalog

Will I be charged after the free trial expires?

Nope! We don't ask for your credit card when you start your trial, so you won't be charged until you decide to become a customer. Totally your call, no surprises.
