What productivity tools cost to run
39 tools in this category publish a monthly price. The median is $16, from $4.00 to $69. What follows is what the model underneath would cost at four shapes of work, and what that leaves for everything the company actually built.
One person using an assistant through a working day.
The median seat, $16, on the light workload
The same seat price, the same work, three model choices. Nothing about the product changed between those rows. That gap is the reason to ask a vendor which model is underneath and whether it can change without telling you.
