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 advanced automation, reporting, or governance beyond current tier
- Team scale and lifecycle complexity require stricter permissions and admin controls
- Multi-pipeline/region complexity requires more standardized lifecycle governance
- Attribution and lifecycle reporting becomes a leadership KPI (data hygiene must improve)
What gets expensive first
- Suite coupling increases switching cost if you later replace marketing/service components
- Reporting quality depends on consistent lifecycle definitions and enforcement
- Costs can step up as contacts, automation depth, and advanced reporting needs increase
- Cross-team governance becomes harder if lifecycle stages and properties drift
Plans and variants (structural only)
Grouped by type to show structure, not to rank or recommend SKUs.
Plans
- Suite plans are typically tiered by capabilities (automation, reporting, governance) rather than just seats (structural only).
- Costs often step up when you need deeper automation, reporting, and permissions as teams scale.
- Contact volume and marketing needs can influence total cost if you adopt multiple hubs.

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