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.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.
