Pricing behavior (not a price list)
These points describe when users typically pay more and what usage patterns trigger upgrades.
Actions that trigger upgrades
- Need more advanced governance/reporting as teams scale
- Need broader suite workflows across marketing/service
- Multi-team rollout requires stricter permissions and lifecycle governance
- Forecasting becomes more rigorous (pipeline coverage, stage hygiene, attribution)
What gets expensive first
- Automation sprawl without governance can create maintenance overhead
- Reporting depends on consistent process and definitions
- Integrations become the system glue; data sync failures create reporting distrust
- Advanced governance and complex objects may push you toward enterprise platforms
Plans and variants (structural only)
Grouped by type to show structure, not to rank or recommend SKUs.
Plans
- Plans generally scale by automation depth, reporting, and governance capabilities (structural only).
- Costs step up when you need multi-team permissions and more advanced analytics.
- Suite adoption (service/support adjacency) can change the total spend and ownership model.

Next step: constraints + what breaks first
Pricing tells you the cost cliffs; constraints tell you what forces a redesign.
