| Which plan to pick | Standard is the plan most teams need, since it's where automations, timelines and the useful AI features start. Pay yearly to save about 20%, and remember seats come in bundles, so price the bundle that fits your team. | Beginner is fine until you hit the five-project wall. Pro on the yearly plan is the obvious move after that. Business is for teams who want a shared space; it is not a substitute for a real project tool. | Free tells you within a day whether talking suits you. If you hit the weekly cap, which most people do fast, Pro on the yearly plan is the one. Growth is only about security paperwork. |
