Strengths

Published per-seat price with no minimum seat commitment
Independently audited against SOC 2, HIPAA and ISO 27001

Trade-offs

No free tier; only a 14-day trial
SSO, domain control and Nitro Analytics need the contact-sales Plus plan
Classic is Windows desktop only, with no Mac, iOS or AI features listed
Advanced 24/7 support is marked '2+ users', so solo buyers may not get it
