$5/mo

Limits: Sync and DB are still in beta; invites rolled out gradually.

Paid as a recurring Open Collective contribution, not a normal subscription; processor fees are deducted.
Sponsor (Open Collective)
$15/mo

Limits: Same beta software as Backers; the extra money mainly buys earlier access.
