Which plan to pickStart on Starter if it is just you. Move to Professional when you have a developer or second designer involved, and put them on a cheaper dev or collab seat rather than a full seat. Organization and Enterprise are for companies, not small businesses.Standard is the sweet spot because relax mode means you never run out. Go to Pro if you make images for clients, since Basic and Standard publish everything you make to the public gallery. Yearly billing takes a chunk off every plan.Pro on yearly billing is cheap and covers most sellers listing up to about 1,000 images a month. Count your monthly exports first, because the jump to Max is steep. Max only earns its price if you need the Shopify sync or video.

Cons
