Dovetale

  • Before its acquisition by Shopify (now sold as Shopify Collabs), Dovetale's Starter plan was $99 USD per month for only 3 users, and jumping to 10 users required the Pro plan at $499 USD per month, a five-fold price increase for roughly triple the seats (archived pricing page, 7 August 2020)
