Exact starting price missing from homepage and roundups; expect a sales call before seeing real numbers.

Guess: enterprise deals usually mean annual contracts and sales negotiations, not monthly self-serve billing.

Guess: credentials and recipient data live on their platform — confirm export terms before committing to avoid lock-in.
