Where it may not be the best fit
Writing, Communication & LanguageHas moved more slowly than the newer entrants and publishes no pricing page that survives an automated check — the plans live on an upgrade page rather than a pricing one. The prices it shows there are a 50 per cent promotion, so the standing rates are twice what the page leads with.
