** Taproo publishes its prices: the software is free to start, Pro is £9/month and Business is £29/month, with tags bought outright in the shop. Popl quotes team pricing on request, so a like-for-like figure depends on your quote. Compare your quote against Taproo's published plans before deciding.

### Can I use Taproo for a whole team?
