Pick Craft if writers who will stay on Starter at $0 (1,500 blocks / 1 GB / 25 MB / 7-day history) while they open a first All Docs grid, then Plus at $8/month ($6.4/month yearly) when they need unlimited blocks — not Family $15 unless they need 2–6 Plus seats, and not Team $50 unless they need up to 10. Pick Ulysses if apple writers who will run the free trial while they file a first Hiker's Handbook sheet — then
