A practical workflow

  1. Users can start with a free plan limited to one project and five users, then upgrade to paid plans for more projects, storage, and users.
  2. Users can delete a project on the free plan to start a new one, but only one project can be active at a time.
  3. Archived or deleted projects do not count against the active project limit, allowing many projects but only a limited number active simultaneously.
