Free Tier Value
This free tier is genuinely usable for public work: it includes the full IDE, public repo sync, package publishing under the @wcd scope, and community chat support. The only clearly paid step shown is the private-components plan, so the free offering lands at roughly 70% of the overall capability set and is worth about $8/month compared with the paid upgrade path.
