Which plan to pickStart on Free, which includes the AI agents and MCP. Move to Plus when you need custom events, cohorts or alerts. Growth and Enterprise are for larger product teams and need a sales call.Start on Free. It covers most small apps, and you get unlimited seats. Growth makes sense when you need saved cohorts, alerts or more than a million events. Young startups should check the Startup Program, which gives a year free.Try the free MozBar and Domain Authority checks first. If you want rank tracking and site audits for one business, Standard is the sensible plan, and paying yearly saves about 20%. Plan limits change often, so compare them on Moz's pricing page before you buy.
