 "skip_if": "you need more than a handful of team members (seat caps climb the tiers fast), or you only need project management — dedicated PM tools give far more generous member limits",
 "honest_knock": "The tiers gate on TWO axes at once — member count and project/pipeline count — so you can hit a wall on either. The CRM pipeline is a big part of the pitch, but it doesn't exist below the $79 Growth plan (Free and Starter have none), and member limits are tight: Starter is a single seat, Growth just three. The headline rates are the annual ones; month-to-month costs 25 to 34% more ($39 against $29 on Starter, $99 against $79 on Growth).",

The paid tiers now publish both rates. Starter $39/mo monthly or $29/mo annually ($348/yr) — 1 member, 5 projects, NO pipelines; Growth $99 or $79 ($948/yr) — 3 members, 10 projects, 1 pipeline, AI Assist and AI workflow generation; Pro $199 or $159 ($1,908/yr) — 10 members, 20 projects, 2 pipelines; Scale $379 or $299 ($3,588/yr) — 40 projects, 4 pipelines, 1,500 AI credits, and no member count published. Paying monthly costs 34% more on Starter and 25-27% more on the rest.
