| Which plan to pick | Run the free CRM for as long as you can; it covers most small businesses. Starter is the sensible first paid step when you want the branding gone and more sends. Only move to Professional when you have a specific automation in mind that will pay for the jump. | Starter is the only published price and it covers unlimited seats and accounts, so most brands under $50,000 a month in spend start and stay there. If you are not spending at least $20,000 a month on ads, $999 is a big slice of your budget and the native ad reports will do for now. | Pay monthly for one month before you commit to a year, because refunds are only possible within three days and only if you haven't used credits. Business suits most brands: 3,000 credits arrive at once, so you can spend them when you launch products. |
