Update to Subscriptions

Subscriptions for Loggify were updated to better align with the cause of the individual plans.

Our former naming of "Startup" and "Growth" were focussed on the stage of the customer. The new names "Starter" and "Professional" now focus on the stage the customer needs are and how deep they need their release communication to be streamlined.

We've also added yearly billing options, which save you 2 months of the year.

Additionally to the login with Google, Loggify now also offers to login/ signup with email.

Sounds basic? It is, but getting a signup flow secure and user-friendly is not.
