Check the real unit
A plan can be free while storage, exports, history, minutes or automations are capped. Identify the unit your workflow consumes fastest.
Test collaboration
Solo access may be generous while permissions, guests and approvals require an upgrade. Recreate the real review loop during the trial.

Confirm that useful, standard-format export exists before importing important work. Access to data is part of the price.
Set an upgrade trigger
Write down the usage level, team size or missing feature that would force payment, then calculate that future tier now.
Use these criteria in the comparison tool, then open the source records before deciding.
