Solid product, recommended
Recommended for anyone in my field. The interface is intuitive enough that I didn't need to read any docs. Customer support responded within hours and solved my issue. Wish the free tier had slightly higher limits. Looking forward to seeing how it improves.

Not worth it for me
Disappointed with the experience. The onboarding flow was smooth and I was productive from day one. I've tried 5 similar tools and this one is clearly the best in class. Customer support response times could be faster.
