The decision in plain English

Announced in late September 2026, with press saying an October launch. Price, regions, approval rules and exact launch date were not disclosed in what we read. Treat it as pre-launch until szn publishes them.

Best fit

People who want to hand off phone calls, email follow-ups and bookings from one thread and are willing to wait for published terms.

Poor fit

Anyone who needs a published price, approval rules, supported countries or reliability data before connecting accounts or paying for purchases.
