Is the $100/mo Growth price fixed, and what does annual actually save?
Bootstrapped, so I negotiate everything and read billing terms before feature lists. Last testing vendor auto-renewed me past a missed cancellation window into a $24k year, which is a lesson you only need once.
Three straight questions on Growth:
- Is the published $100/mo real, or is it a "from" price that becomes something else once sales gets involved?
- What does annual billing actually save versus monthly, in months or percent?
- How locked in am I? contract terms, renewal mechanics, the stuff that actually costs money later
Friendly but I will read the fine print either way

Straight questions deserve straight answers.
-
Growth is the published self-serve price: from $100/month billed annually. The "from" reflects that usage beyond the included quotas (20k MAU, 20 slots, 15 experiences or experiments) adds pay-as-you-go overage, not that a sales call changes the base. Custom terms exist, but they live on the Scale tier, which is custom MAU, slots, and experiments with premium support, for setups that genuinely need them.

Annual billing saves up to 2 months versus paying monthly. That is the published discount structure, there is no hidden better rate.

On lock-in, the path I would actually suggest given your history: start on the free plan. It is forever-free at $0 up to 10k MAU with no credit card required, and it already includes personalization, A/B testing, SSR, and unsampled analytics. Run it until you have real usage data, then upgrade when the numbers justify it. Starting without a contract and upgrading later is a fully supported path, not a trial trick.
No credit card on free is the tell I look for. Starting there and letting the usage data make the upgrade case. Fair answers, accepted.
