Pistonlog ships in three plans: Basic, Pro, and Enterprise. Pricing is per workshop — there are no per-seat add-ons. You pick one per company at signup and can switch from billing at any time. Each plan has a user limit (5 / 20 / unlimited), with Enterprise being the only tier without a cap.

The paywall
Click into something inspections-related (or set up an automatic reminder template) on Basic and Pistonlog shows a paywall explaining what's on Pro and offering an upgrade. Switching plans takes effect immediately via Stripe — no contract renewal needed.
Inspections plan badge
Articles that require Pro or Enterprise for the inspections module carry a "Requires Inspections plan" pill at the top.
SMS credits
SMS credits aren't part of any plan — they're consumable, bought separately. See SMS credits billing.
