Start small, but with real architecture
A free plan should let you test an idea with no risk. Once the bot becomes a revenue channel, the main criteria become customer limits, groups and included AI credits.
The right decision criteria
Price alone is not enough. A plan must match audience size, automation level and expected support volume.
- Number of bots and groups needed.
- Current and projected customer volume.
- Premium template needs.
- Expected monthly AI usage.
- Support and add-ons required.
When to upgrade
Upgrade when limits block growth or when automation saves more time than the price difference costs.
