Preserve these limitations: no user-level reports, cohorts, retention analysis or retargeting audiences, and last-touch attribution only; Enterprise features such as SSO and Sites API cannot be added to lower tiers; historical GA import cannot fill gaps after Plausible begins collecting data; and the free Community Edition omits premium features and requires self-managed infrastructure. On cost, state that the $9/$14/$19 monthly figures are entry prices for up to 10k monthly pageviews, that billing scales with pageviews plus custom events up to 10M+, and that the higher brackets and Enterprise pricing must be confirmed on the live pricing page; self-hosting is not equivalent to a free subscription.
