| Which plan to pick | There's only one way to pay. Use the $1 trial credit to test the MCP server, then top up $50 and set a daily limit of a dollar or two. Use the cheaper standard queue for bulk jobs and the live mode only when you need an answer now. | 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. | Starter is enough to see where one brand stands. Most businesses with more than one product line or market will want Pro for the extra prompts and countries. Agencies should look at Advanced or Peec's separate agency pricing. |
