Pricing
How we check thisA homepage meta description mentions a $15/month plan, but the pricing page lists Standard ($12/mo), Pro ($21/mo), and Business ($60/mo) as the current plans. A comparison table against Ghost(Pro) also shows some inconsistent figures ($31/mo, $25/mo annually) that appear to relate to the competitor's pricing rather than Midnight's own plans.
