Trade-offs

Friction report

Trade-offs to know before signing up.

  1. Time to value
    Install from WordPress.org in minutes; building calendars, forms and WooCommerce products takes an afternoon or more.
  2. Scale breakpoint
    Running several sites means the Advanced or Complete pass (259 or 349 EUR/yr for one site, more for extra sites).
  3. Walled garden
    Low: data lives in your WordPress database, with CSV and iCal export.
Still a fit?
If none of these block you, start on the free plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
