|---|---|---|
| Value for money | DOne plan, per seat: five people pay $79 each billed annually, $79 a head, or $99 billed monthly. That's in this category's dearest tenth, which starts at $69, and image personalization and video cost extra on top. | BEach person has their own seat, so five on Pro pay €19 a head billed yearly, inside the cheaper quarter's $32.50 even after converting from euros.
