Pros & cons

Pricing & true cost
| Plan | Indicative price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Free | Free | — |
| Plus | ≈ $20 / user / mo | Billed annually; $25 monthly |
| Professional (org) | ≈ $250 / mo base + $20 / user / mo | Plus $250/account/month |
| Enterprise (org) | ≈ $250 / mo base + $40 / user / mo | — |
Pricing watch-out: Organisation plans (Essentials $3, Professional $20, Enterprise $40 per user/month) add a $250/month account fee. 30-day Enterprise trial for up to 25 users.
True cost at 5, 10 and 25 seats
Cheapest paid plan that fits each team size, from indicative list prices checked November 5, 2026. Excludes tax, add-ons, onboarding fees and promotional discounts.
Pricing watch-outs
- Base fee on top of per-seat pricing. Professional (org) adds a fixed monthly base fee, so a 5-person team pays about $70 per person per month, not the headline per-seat rate.
Contract questions to ask before you sign
- Does the plan auto-renew, and how many days’ notice do you need to cancel?
- Is the advertised price for annual billing? What is the month-to-month price?
- Is the first-year price a promotion? What will renewal cost, and is it capped?
- Is there a minimum number of seats, or a charge for inactive users?
- Are onboarding, implementation or premium-support fees extra?
- How do we export all our data if we leave, and in what format?
