04Is Helix Core worth the money?
Helix Core is worth paying for when a team needs the Cloud plan’s single-tenant service or the unlimited capacity listed for Scale and Platform. Cloud’s $39-per-user monthly price is straightforward to model up to 100 users, but the Free plan may be enough for a small team that can self-host and stay within its user, workspace and file limits. Scale and Platform require annual quotes. Get a full quote for any add-ons, and check export and migration terms before committing project history.
