Which plan to pickBusiness 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.Start on Free, which is enough to decide if the editor suits you. A solo consultant should move to Plus for clean PowerPoint exports. A sales team of three or more should go straight to Team for the shared credits and viewer tracking.Start on the free Personal plan with a real data set. If you use it every week, Pro is enough for most people; move to Business only if you keep running out of AI credits. Monthly billing costs about 10% more than the yearly prices shown.
