Free Tier Value
This free tier is genuinely perpetual and has no usage cap, so it’s worth the full value of the cheapest paid plan rather than a discounted taste. The Pro plan is $13/mo, and the free offering already includes the core editor plus the main pro-style capabilities listed on the page, so the practical monthly value lands at about $13. A credit card is not required to use the free tier.
