Costs to watch before you commit
- Pricing is typically tied to annual contracts that auto-renew, with a minimum commitment term

- Document and user volumes are capped per plan; heavy usage pushes you into higher tiers
- Advertised entry prices often assume annual billing, so monthly-billed cost is higher
