| Which plan to pick | Business Standard is the plan to be on. Starter is cheap but leaves out Gemini in Docs, Sheets and Slides, which is the whole point. Only move to Plus if you need Vault or the extra storage, not for the AI. | Standard covers most individuals; watch the usage dashboard on your first big job. Move to Business when several people need it or you want to run it on your own AI account. | Pro is the sweet spot for most people because it adds document uploads and the MCP server. Move to Team only when several people need decks on the same brand template. Prices are per user. |
