  • Each has a real cost: Aha! sold as eight separate products rather than one subscription, so Roadmaps, Discovery, Ideas, Whiteboards, Builder, Develop, Teamwork and Knowledge are each priced per user; Prettier inflexible style rules that cannot be customized significantly, forcing teams to accept opinionated defaults
