Key hidden costs: no permanent free plan - only a 7-day trial that requires a credit card and auto-charges unless cancelled, document upload (pdf, docx) locked behind pro tier ($20/month annual) - basic plan cannot convert files to presentations, custom branding (logo, colors, fonts) requires team plan ($30/month annual) - a 3x markup over basic just for brand control.
