Before you pay
Which plan, for whom
The free plan is permanent for up to two users and three boards. Basique adds users and boards but has no automations, integrations or calendar view, so Standard is the realistic entry point for most teams. Read-only viewers are free and unlimited, which suits boards shown to clients.
What a year costs
Prices exclude tax. Basique is 12 € per user a month billed monthly, 144 € a year per user, or 9 € yearly, 108 € a year. Standard is 14 €, 168 € a year, or 12 € yearly, 144 € a year, with 250 automation actions a month. Pro is 24 €, 288 € a year, or 19 € yearly, 228 € a year, with 25,000 actions. We read the same 12 € on 17 and 25 October.
What we would check before paying
How many automation actions you will use: Standard's 250 a month go quickly once several boards run them. Count only the people who edit; viewers do not need a seat.
The limits to know
