What to watch out for
The free usage phase is current, not permanent, so expect pricing or quota changes and check the official site for updates. The desktop client is a macOS download, while other platforms use the web version, which may not match every desktop feature. The workspace is deep, with design systems, permissions, and layout tools, so allow time to learn it properly. Enterprise security features matter mainly for organizations rather than solo users. For best results, start with a small test file and review the output carefully before working on anything important.
