Why upgrade?

Pro is there when it becomes useful

Starter is designed to be used properly. It brings core records, planning tools and a useful level of project and AI capacity into one place.

Pro is the next step, not the starting requirement. Move up when unlimited projects, complete Business Insights, accounting reports or the Accountant Pack would genuinely help.
