  • None of the three packages (Core, Core plus Growth, Full Growth Bundle) shows a price; each tier displays only a Book a demo button
  • The Core package is scoped to single locations just getting started
  • Add on features are bought by upgrading the membership, so the entry package price is not the final cost
