| Value for money | CStarter is one user, so a team of two or three buys Team: $790 a year, about $66 a month, for 5 users and 20 profiles. That's above this category's $58 dearer quarter but under the $99 dearest tenth. On your own, Starter is $290 a year. | CBootstrap covers 5 profiles for $290 a year, about $24 a month, but it's one user, and a second costs $10 a month. So two people pay about $34. That's a touch above this category's $29 middle and well under the $58 dearer quarter. |
