		Business Custom Teams buying for staff.
Which plan to pick	Free is enough for typo-catching. If you write for clients or customers every day, Pro on yearly billing is good value; paying monthly costs more than double.	Use Basic for a week to see if you reach for it. If you do, Unlimited on yearly billing is the one to get, because Advanced still caps your rewrites. There are no refunds, so cancel during the 3-day trial if it isn't for you.
