Why per-workspace instead of per-seat?
Because our marginal cost genuinely doesn't scale with your team size. On paid plans the AI runs on your own Anthropic key, and our infrastructure is identical whether you have 5 people or 500. Per-seat pricing bills you for hiring; we have no reason to.
What does 'bring your own Anthropic key' mean?
You create an Anthropic account, generate an API key, and paste it into the StandupBot dashboard. From then on your issue titles, PR descriptions and commit activity are processed under your Anthropic account — your commercial terms, your retention policy, revocable the moment you rotate the key. We never hold your work in our own model account. Tools that pipe your data to their vendor's LLM cannot offer that. The AI spend is between you and Anthropic — typically $5–15/month for a 10-person team. Step-by-step walkthrough at /docs/anthropic-key.
How do we compare to Geekbot, DailyBot or StandupBot.com?
Every one of them DMs your teammates a questionnaire each morning and waits for humans to answer. We read Linear and GitHub and write the standup for you — nobody types a word. That difference is architectural, not cosmetic: because we hold structured delivery history rather than self-reported prose, we can also produce accomplishment summaries for retros and reviews. Try the slider above for the price comparison.
What counts as a 'member'?
Anyone on the standup's roster who has their Linear identity linked. If someone is in the Slack channel but not on the roster, they don't count. The Free cap of 5 is there so solo founders and duos can evaluate without a card; hire your 6th and you'll need Pro.
Can I self-host?
On Enterprise, yes. Pro and Business are cloud-only, hosted on Fly.io + Supabase. Tokens are encrypted at rest with AES-GCM (AES-256, per-workspace keyring with rotation support). Email us for an Enterprise quote.
What happens when I exceed a Free-tier limit?
Your existing runs keep firing. New features (6th member, 2nd standup, custom template) gate with a clear 'Upgrade to Pro' modal. We won't drop a standup mid-sprint because you hit the member cap overnight.
Is my own Anthropic key required?
On Pro and Business, yes — it's the mechanism that makes unlimited seats honest and keeps your work out of our model account. The Free plan runs on our key with caps, so you can evaluate without creating an Anthropic account first. If a paid workspace has no key, synthesis pauses with a clear prompt rather than quietly falling back to ours.
Do you offer annual discounts?
Yes — Pro annual is $180/yr ($15/mo effective, saves $48); Business annual is $780/yr ($65/mo effective, saves $168). Early-stage startups (sub-$5M seed) can contact us for first-year discount pricing.
Can I cancel anytime?
Any time, from the dashboard's billing page — it opens a Stripe customer portal. You keep access until the end of the current period, then auto-downgrade to Free.
