    Support Rating
    Gleam
    Their support is fine. I remember the one time promising an upcoming feature that I don't think ever got implemented, but it wasn't a huge deal. I haven't had a lot of interaction with their support team.

    Gleam is much better than Woobox, even though the latter have better pricing tiers.
