Why compare this way
Make comparison easier without turning it into pressure.
Local is still a first-class lane.
qardo is not trying to make Local feel like a broken demo. It is the calm production path for people who want the lightest trust contract.
Free should feel usable.
The hosted plan starts generous on purpose so people can understand the account-backed lane before they ever think about paying.
Pro is about scale, not nagging.
Pro exists for bigger limits and richer export. It should clarify differences, not bully people out of the plan they actually need.
