Do not position it as a no-code all-in-one app builder or as a frontend product. Preserve the cost facts: it is a subscription, not a marketplace with spreads; Free is rate-limited to 10 API requests per 20 seconds and lacks workflow tests, sandboxes, branching and background tasks; Essential starts at $85/month annual or $99 monthly; Pro at $224/month annual or $249 monthly; a HIPAA BAA is a paid add-on on Pro; the Pro CPU boost plus Autoscale add-on is $180/month; Custom pricing and several add-on prices are undisclosed — state them as unknown rather than estimating.
