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 a unified lifecycle model across marketing + sales + service
- Need deeper governance/reporting as the org scales
- Sales and support need tighter alignment on accounts/contacts and lifecycle definitions
- Attribution/reporting needs expand beyond service-centric workflows
What gets expensive first
- Tool choice depends on whether CRM is the system of record vs service platform
- Reporting consistency requires lifecycle definitions across teams
- If marketing automation becomes core, you may need a broader GTM suite or integrations
- Cross-tool attribution requires disciplined integration and data ownership
Plans and variants (structural only)
Grouped by type to show structure, not to rank or recommend SKUs.
Plans
- Plans typically scale by automation, reporting, and admin controls (structural only).
- Support-led orgs should evaluate how sales/service data shares accounts and lifecycle definitions.
- If marketing automation and attribution become core, you may need additional tooling or integrations.

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