| Which plan to pick | Free is enough to find out whether you like it. Starter suits one simple internal tool, but watch the integration credits once staff start using it daily. The pricing page only shows yearly rates, which it says are 20 per cent cheaper than monthly, so ask what monthly billing costs before you commit. | Build on Free to see if you like the result, then move to Launch to go live on your own domain. Grow is only worth it if you have lots of customers or use the AI marketing tools heavily. | Stay on Free if you make the odd page. Plus is the sensible paid plan; the credit allowance matches what you pay, so treat it as pay-as-you-go with a monthly minimum. Business costs over three times as much for the same credits, so only pick it for the data protections. |
