• Tight if you rely on Zapier or Kit, which need Scale at $179 a month billed yearly
• Skip it if you want your own branded app, which is only in custom-priced Mighty Pro
• Watch out: Mighty takes 2% of each sale on Launch and 1% on Scale
• Watch out: the trial runs on Growth, so you try features Launch doesn't have
