Our take
Pick Close if solo operators who will start on Solo at $9/user/month yearly ($19 monthly; 1 user / 10k leads) while they open a first Lead page, then Essentials at $35 yearly when they need unlimited leads and a team inbox — not Growth $99 unless they need workflows. Pick folk if small sales teams who will use the 14-day Premium trial (no card), then pay Standard at $24/member/month billed yearly.
