cost_optimization:
  - tip: Choose annual billing to save 25% compared to monthly billing
  - tip: Start with Starter plan and upgrade as your social set needs grow
  - tip: Add extra social sets individually rather than upgrading to a higher tier if you only need slightly more profiles
  - tip: Monitor AI credit usage and add supplemental credits only as needed rather than upgrading plans
  - tip: Audit user seats quarterly and remove inactive users to avoid paying for unused seats
