  • The CRM is priced above the general Work Management product at the same tier, at 12 EUR against 9 EUR per seat on Basic
  • Published rates require annual billing, with monthly costing more
  • The Ultimate tier is custom priced

Next.js

  • Opinionated architecture reduces flexibility compared to using React alone with separate libraries
  • Required build and deployment infrastructure adds complexity for beginners
  • Server Components paradigm represents significant mental model shift from traditional client-side React
  • Async request handling in version 15 requires relearning APIs (params, cookies, headers now require await)
  • Lock-in to Vercel ecosystem for optimal performance, though other platforms are supported
