Where it may not be the best fit
Business, Finance & Professional WorkNo free plan, only a 14-day trial, though it asks for no card. Its pricing page refuses automated reading, so these figures were transcribed by hand. Annual billing takes 42 per cent off Lite but only about 20 off Growth and Ultimate, so the headline discount does not hold as you go up the ladder.
