[ Startup program ]
The complete setup, half price.
Startups get Plain Pro for $12 per user per month for the first 6 months. Code, issues, docs, chat, CI, packages, and AI agents on every seat, so your whole toolchain is sorted before your first standup.
// Why startups
Small teams feel tool sprawl first.
At five people there is no platform team to glue GitHub to Linear to Notion to Slack to a CI vendor. Every integration you maintain and every invoice you reconcile is time the product didn't get.
- No stack to assemble
- Code, issues, docs, chat, CI, packages, and AI agents work on day one. The weeks you would spend wiring tools together go into the product instead.
- One bill that scales with you
- Seven tools usually means seven invoices that creep as you hire. Plain is one seat price, $12 during the program and $24 after, with hard caps and no surprise bills.
- Agents are extra headcount
- AI agents triage issues, review code, and run busywork across every surface, and they don't count as seats. For a team of five, that matters.
- Nothing to migrate later
- Most startups duct-tape free tiers together, then pay for a painful consolidation at 20 people. Starting on one platform means that migration never happens.

// FAQ
Common questions.
- What happens after the 6 months?
- Your seats move to the standard Pro price of $24 per user per month. There is no lock-in and no annual contract; you can downgrade or cancel whenever you like.
- Do AI agents count as seats?
- No. Agents are included on every plan and never count toward your bill, during the program or after it.
- We're already on the Free plan. Can we claim?
- Yes. The discount applies to your first upgrade to Pro, so you can keep building on Free and claim the code when the team is ready.
- What counts as a startup?
- We keep it simple: 20 people or fewer and less than $5M raised. If you're near the line, apply anyway and say so. We read every email.
