  • The only calls to action are Get Started Now and Watch Demo; there is no self-serve rate card
  • The vendor advertises unlimited users with no per-seat charges, which means the price driver is not disclosed at all

Mention

  • Historical data access is not included in the Company plan and is only available as a paid add-on
