Free vs Pro: Which Plan Fits Your Workflow

Start with the core workflow on Free, then upgrade where governance, presentation, and context depth become business requirements.

  • Core export in Free
  • Advanced controls in Pro
  • Upgrade path by workflow maturity

What Free Solves Immediately

The Free plan is built to establish your base B2B stock sharing process quickly. You get core export capability, structured inventory output, and a practical path to stop ad hoc file handling. For many merchants, this is enough to remove the largest daily friction point.

Free is ideal when your priority is process activation: getting a repeatable stock-sharing rhythm running across sales and account teams.

Where Pro Adds Strategic Control

Pro becomes valuable when your channel requires tighter governance and richer presentation. Features such as stock masking, export branding, and expanded contextual columns help teams protect sensitive data, strengthen external communication quality, and reduce clarification overhead.

These upgrades are less about novelty and more about operational maturity. As account complexity rises, Pro controls help maintain consistency without slowing execution.

  • Mask sensitive high-stock values
  • Apply brand standards to buyer files
  • Enrich export context with additional columns

Decision Criteria by Team Stage

Choose Free if you are still validating core process adoption or operating a lower-complexity account base. Choose Pro when account scale, partner sensitivity, or brand requirements demand stronger controls and richer buyer-facing output.

A common pattern is to begin on Free, validate workflow utility, and then upgrade once operational confidence is established and advanced needs become clear.

Practical Upgrade Strategy

Do not treat plan selection as a one-time irreversible choice. Treat it as an operational stage gate. Move to Pro when specific constraints appear, for example competitive visibility concerns, stricter brand consistency requirements, or repeated requests for richer product context.

This keeps spend aligned with actual workflow complexity and avoids premature feature adoption.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can we start Free and upgrade later without process reset?

Yes. The workflow is designed to evolve, so upgrades extend capability rather than forcing a rebuild.

Is Pro only for large merchants?

No. Pro is for teams with advanced operational requirements, regardless of store size.
