Free vs Paid: What's Worth It
Know when the free tier is genuinely holding you back and a paid plan pays for itself — so you upgrade for the right reason, not FOMO.
Most owners never need to pay a cent. Start free, and upgrade only when a real wall costs you real money:
- Free tier covers most owners — don't pay on day one
- Pay when you hit a wall: usage caps mid-task, a smarter model for hard jobs, bigger file uploads
- Do the math — $30/month vs the hours (or one costly mistake) it saves
- Trim the waste — cancel seats and tools you stopped using
In practice
Start free, watch for the wall you hit most weeks, and pay only when clearing it saves you more than the fee — then cancel anything you've stopped actually using.
The rest is free too — it just needs a seat.
