Has anyone compared the three social LCA databases available in OpenLCA? What are the pros/cons and differences in data, indicators, and results?

Below is what I was able to glean from the social database descriptions: but this isn't enough info to help me make a purchase. I don't have the funds to buy all three and compare (I wish I did!)

soca: add-on for ecoinvent v3.3 w 50 social indicators $euro 950

PSILCA: generic inventory for 15,000 flows $euro 3K

Shdb social hotspots: based on GTAP (IO) $euro $2750

Have you tried the Documentation of SOCA? There are the key differences listed.
