Hey everyone,

I'm thinking of introducing an Individual pricing plan (one user only) in which we strip away all team features. This would help bring much better user experiences since there was no unnecessary clutter or noise.

I'd like to hear your thoughts about it.




I would love that.

This tool looks like the perfect productivity tool for me - as a staff engineer with accountability for the deliverables of 2 teams (might become 3 soon).

As I can no longer simply track my work in a team's JIRA board, I need some way to keep track of what I'm planning to do, what's in progress, and what's done -- and separately for each team; also including journal entries so I can log research I've done or conversations I've had. The Pomodoro timer and other personal productivity features just make it all the more attractive - a perfect fit.

Upbase looks perfect for this -- minus the team features.


Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

On this Individual plan, should we allow team features to be turned on and new members to be invited afterward?


I think that could likely be helpful for some people, but probably not in my case. I don't expect anyone else to be working alongside me.

But I imagine a solo founder wanting to start on a low-cost individual plan, and expects to eventually add new members when he/she gets a co-founder and/or more team members.

In any case, people like the feeling of there being an easy "on-ramp" to what they imagine they'll do in the future. GitHub in particular has achieved mastery of easy on-ramps to more (paid) features.

I'd be curious to find out how many Trello boards start out with 1 person and others join weeks or months later.


Individual plan works great. Since these tools are in an infancy, the user culture has yet to catch on. Launch individual plan (no limits). Launch a friends feature with tracking/comments.

Launch teams feature under paid plan that has a management system built in, with a manager.

Btw, i bought a lifetime plan (sucker?) but it is not activating.
