Our take
Pick Front if support teams who will start the 14-day Professional trial (no card), then Starter at $25/seat/month yearly when one channel type and ≤10 seats is enough, or Professional at $65 when they need omnichannel. Pick Mimestream if mac Gmail users on macOS 12+ who will run the 14-day trial while they open a first Primary thread — then Individual at $49.99/yr (or $4.99/mo), not Shortwave Business $30/seat
