| 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. | Basic is enough for most small business sites, and the free custom domain on a yearly plan makes it good value. Move to Pro when you pass 30 pages or want more than two CMS collections. Budget for extra editor seats at $20 a month if more than one person will design. | Premium does the job for most small businesses. Only pay for 48 months if you are sure you will still want the site then; a shorter term costs more per month but avoids a big upfront bill. There is a 30-day money-back guarantee as long as you have used fewer than 30 credits. |
