- Free calendars send 500 invites or newsletters a week; Plus sends 5,000, and more costs $50 to $800 a month. Extra admins cost $12 a month ($9 billed yearly).
- The API and Zapier need Luma Plus, which applies to one calendar and cannot be moved to another.
- There is no multi-session event type; Luma suggests cloning an event, up to 30 copies at a time, for recurring sessions.
