Which plan to pickPro+ is the first plan that includes a commercial licence, so it's the real starting point for a business. Move to Scale only if you have a large catalogue or need the API.There's nothing to buy for the names themselves. If you want a logo for the name you pick, Brandmark sells one-off logo packages from $35, but you can take the name anywhere.Standard is the sweet spot: three dollars more than Basic gets you more than three times the photos. Move to Professional or Enterprise only if you stage several listings a week. The vendor says yearly billing saves more, so check both options at checkout.
