Which plan to pickStart on Free and build your welcome and abandoned cart flows before you pay anything. Move to Email when you cross 250 contacts, and only add SMS once email is working, because text messages cost extra per send.Try the editor on Free, but expect to pay before you can download anything. Business is the plan to pick if you want your brand fonts and colours locked in or need PowerPoint and video files. Always pay yearly, since monthly billing costs about twice as much.
