Hidden costs to budget for
- • Per-seat plans multiply with team size — check whether the price above is per user.
- • Headline prices usually assume annual billing; paying monthly costs more.
- • Premium support, extra storage, and higher API limits are common paid add-ons.
- • Watch for renewal pricing: introductory rates often rise at the second term.
