Preserve these costs and limits: Starter is $250/month plus usage; a message is one message to one user on one channel, so multi-channel workflows multiply billable messages; guide recipients and agent credits are separately metered; Free is capped at 10,000 messages; Enterprise contract terms, volume rates, and agent-credit consumption per action are undisclosed, so never describe any tier as effectively free. Note that i18n, SSO/SCIM/RBAC, and email previews are gated by tier.
