Grin

  • Billed on monthly credits rather than seats, and credits are consumed at different rates by activity, so identical usage months can cost different amounts
  • The free plan allows 200 credits a month against 2,000 on the $200 Starter plan
  • The published tiers run from $200 to $1,500 a month, which is a high floor for a small brand
  • Overage is charged at a flat rate above the plan allowance
