Cons

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It's $249 per month per instance. It's not great; it's pretty pricey. We've got multiple users on that one instance.

In terms of the additional costs, they do have some specific pricing, but for our use case, we don't end up going over $249. They do specify in their pricing what they're charging for."
