## Why people pay for it

- Timeline/Gantt and calendar views
- Automations and integrations
- Private boards and time tracking

## Reasons to keep paying

- Boards, automations and dashboards customized around team processes
- Integrations feeding boards

## Risks

- **functionality_loss** (medium): Downgrading removes views, automations and integrations used by existing boards.

Data portability: moderate — Boards export to Excel; automations, dashboards and integrations must be rebuilt elsewhere.
