Ways to spend less on Grist
Add occasional helpers as guests, not team members
On paid plans the number of team members sets the price. Guests are different: every document, even on a free personal site, gets up to 2 guests who don't change the bill at all. Invite a client or a one-off reviewer to the document itself rather than to the team.
