What it really costs
Monthly cost by workspace count. Per-unit tiers grow with usage; flat tiers keep their whole-plan price within the published allowance, with the 3-workspace row marked as a realistic setup.
| workspaces | Basic | Pro |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | $39/mo | $59/mo |
| 3Typical | $117/mo | $177/mo |

Monthly billing. Volume discounts lower the per-workspace rate at higher counts. Annual billing takes about 2 months off.
