The changes they made (I guess a couple years now) to their pricing model really bit us in the ass. We had a 130 user licence on the old 5$ tier, and had to aggressively cut user counts to afford the new licence. There really needs to be so

Currently a starter tier user with more than 25 users, and I don't know how I feel. We had been mulling an upgrade to premium, but the price jump is a tough sell for us. This kind of leaves us in an predicament. Will have to see what

I am lucky in that fact that I am a position where my opinions are listened to and respected. I have spent the last few years trying to improve a number of our processes. If I wasn't in this position, then chances are I would have move
