Which plan to pickBasic is enough for most small business sites, and the free custom domain on a yearly plan makes it good value. Move to Pro when you pass 30 pages or want more than two CMS collections. Budget for extra editor seats at $20 a month if more than one person will design.Use the 20 free credits on a small test app first. If the result holds up, Pro is enough for most builders. Only look at Rocket or Booster if you'll use the research and competitor tracking too. SSO and premium support are a sales conversation.
