What it actually costs
Intro pricing shown — see the renewal note for what you'll pay after the introductory term. We don't hide the second-act price.
The real cost
What you'll actually pay across 4 years, including the renewal cliff. We blend the math so you see the true monthly cost.
When the bill actually arrives
Most hosts advertise intro pricing prominently and renewal pricing in the fine print. Here\'s the trajectory drawn to scale.

| Biggest strength | Intuitive, polished user interface with thoughtful animations and keyboard shortcuts | Real-time collaboration is genuinely excellent — multiple designers can work simultaneously without conflicts or lag | Slackbot's contextual awareness of your team's conversations and files eliminates constant app-switching — it actually knows what you've been working on |
| Biggest drawback | Pricing escalates significantly for growing teams; per-user model becomes expensive at scale | Performance degrades noticeably on complex files with hundreds of artboards or heavy plugins | AI features like Slackbot and summarisation require paid plans, pricing out smaller teams who'd benefit most from automation |
