Preserve cost details: Chat Start is $399/mo annual or $499/mo monthly for 10k MAU, Feeds Start is $499/mo annual or $599/mo monthly, overages apply at $0.99 per concurrent and $100 per 1M channels, and Video/Moderation tier prices are undisclosed. Do not call it free overall, since free tiers are capped and paid plans are required at scale. Do not describe it as a finished consumer app or no-code tool.
