The simplicity is the appeal: no contact tiers, no contracts, just channel count times rate.

The Email API tiers cover 4,000 to 2.5M+ emails per month with dedicated IP starting at the Business plan and 30-day log retention at Enterprise. The Email Sandbox is billed separately (Free 50 test emails, Basic $14/mo annual, Team $34/mo annual, Business $99/mo annual, Enterprise $399/mo annual) and is most useful for QA, staging environments, and CI pipelines that need to verify outbound mail without touching real inboxes.",

Growth at $100/month brings rates down to $0.008 to $0.010 per SMS and $0.03 per MMS. Professional at $500/month flattens SMS to $0.007 with MMS at $0.024, and unlocks API access, enhanced analytics, and removes Postscript branding. Enterprise is custom-quoted and adds an onboarding specialist, AI product recommendations, and data warehouse integration.

Typeform also sells two vertical add-on plans outside the core ladder: Growth Pro at $379/month for marketing teams and Talent at $169/month for recruiting workflows. The product trades feature breadth for aesthetics: it is consistently among the prettiest form builders, but the per-month price and per-seat scaling make it a real line item for marketing teams compared to free alternatives like Google Forms or Tally.",

The Site plan ladder runs Starter (free, webflow.io subdomain), Basic (custom domain, no CMS), CMS (bundled CMS with 2,000 items), Business (higher CMS limits and form file upload), and Enterprise (contact sales). Annual billing saves up to 33% versus monthly. Webflow is broader than a pure landing page builder, but in this catalog the closest enum match is landing-pages, with content-marketing as a secondary fit for the bundled CMS.",
