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 Spark Mail if teams who will stay on Free while they clear a first Focused Inbox — then Plus at US$10/user/mo (or US$99/yr) when they want Gatekeeper / extra productivity, not Missive Starter
