Feature Comparison
Pros & Cons

- Rich animation and interaction system enables highly polished visual designs
- Free tier available with custom domain support
- Extensible plugin SDK allows developers to add custom functionality
Cons
- Pricing page details are sparse—feature limits per tier are not clearly documented publicly
