| Which plan to pick | Most people should simply use Free; it covers more than the paid tiers of its rivals. Only move to Team or Business when several people need to search each other's calls or you want notes landing in HubSpot or Salesforce without lifting a finger. | Test on the free plan, then move to Bronze to remove branding and lift the limits. Silver costs little more yearly and gives 2.5 times the conversations, so pick it if you're near the Bronze cap. | Beginner is fine until you hit the five-project wall. Pro on the yearly plan is the obvious move after that. Business is for teams who want a shared space; it is not a substitute for a real project tool. |
