The Fatal Flaw: $332/mo for Unlimited Users
Loomly forces you to pay ~$332/mo (Beyond plan) just to add a 4th team member. Their Starter plan (~$65/mo) caps you at 3 users. No middle ground. And there's no public API at any tier - Loomly is purely a UI tool.

Zernio: Unlimited team members at every tier - free up to 2 accounts, then $6/$3/$1 per account, custom for 2,000+. Production API included.
