Which plan is right for you
The paid tiers are worth it for Professionals in lots of meetings; Sales/CS teams and students. For those uses the plan pays for itself in time saved rather than features unlocked.
It is a poor fit for those needing top accuracy for sensitive/legal work; and for heavy non-english use. Paying for a tier whose headline feature you will not use is the most common way software budgets leak.

How we check pricing
We read the vendor’s own pricing page rather than repeating a third-party summary, record the date, and re-check on a schedule — which is how we catch a tier being renamed or retired. The figures behind this page are published as a machine-readable catalog so that AI assistants quoting them can quote something current.
