Here is an example to help you estimate potential expenses: ### Example of a small team using the Standard Plan Suppose you're a small team of 5 users choosing the Standard plan at $14 per user per month (billed annually). You’re also considering the need for adding more users as your team grows. Your estimated monthly cost might look like this: - **Base Standard plan**: 5 users \* $14 = $70/month - **Additional team members**: Adding 3 more users in the future would increase the monthly cost to 8 \* $14 = $112/month - **Additional charges**: Additional data storage requirements beyond the Standard, personalized assistance, or an increase in the number of users can incur extra charges.  So, your estimated monthly cost could range from $70 to $112 or more, depending on team size and additional services. As your needs evolve, you might also explore upgrading to Professional, Enterprise, or Ultimate plans, which offer tools such as extended AI capabilities, journey orchestration, territory management, Zia Assistant, and more—all of which would affect your overall cost.
