Worth knowing before you buy

Only Starter Suite can be billed monthly; Pro Suite ($100) and above are annual only per the pricing page
Web Services API access is a separate $25/user/month add-on, which matters for integrations on lower tiers
Premier Support is included from Core but is an add-on on Pro Suite
Salesforce docs state SAML federated authentication is available in all editions (based on older documentation versions; confirm against current Salesforce help)
Slack Business+ and Tableau Next are bundled starting at the Core tier
