Imagine KatFile like transportation choices:
- Free: Like riding the city bus—gets you there, but slower with stops
- Premium: Like owning a car—fast, convenient, no waiting
- Premium Pro: Like having a private driver—ultimate speed, unlimited luxury
All three get your files where they need to go. The experience is what changes.
Free Account: Try Before You Commit
