- Starter plan is capped at 10 projects and costs $16 per editor per month ($192/year)
- Teams plan raises the cap to only 100 projects at $24 per editor per month; even Enterprise tops out at 400 projects
- AI credits are metered per editor per month (500 on Starter, 1,000 on Teams, 2,500 on Enterprise), so AI features have a hard usage ceiling beyond the base seat price
