Kollabe's Next Chapter

Poster of Kollabe

Dear Kollabe Community,

First, I want to thank each one of you who has been part of Kollabe's journey. Your support and feedback have helped shape this platform into what it is today - a tool that thousands of agile teams rely on daily for their planning poker and retrospective needs.

Why We're Making Changes

I've always been committed to providing Kollabe as a free tool, but as our user base has grown into the tens of thousands, so have our operational costs. To ensure Kollabe's sustainability and continue providing you with a reliable, high-quality platform, I need to make some important changes.

What's Changing

Starting December 1st, 2024, Kollabe will transition to a subscription model:

• $25/month per space (team)
• $240/year when paid annually ($20/month equivalent)

Each space includes:

• Unlimited team members
• Unlimited meetings
• Full access to both Planning Poker and Retrospectives
• Complete meeting history
• Data export capabilities
• All future features and improvements

The Free Version Continues

Kollabe will maintain a free tier that includes core Planning Poker and Retrospective features. While some limitations will apply, you'll still be able to run effective team meetings with the essential functionality you need.

Why Subscribe?

At $25/month per team, Kollabe remains one of the most cost-effective solutions in the market while offering both planning poker and retrospective tools in one integrated platform. Your subscription will directly support:

• Platform stability and performance improvements
• Enhanced security measures
• New feature development
• Continued innovation in making agile meetings more engaging and effective

Looking Forward

Your subscription will help transform Kollabe from a passion project into a sustainable platform that can truly serve its community for the long term. I'm excited about the improvements and new features this will enable us to bring you.

Special Circumstances

I understand this change may impact teams differently. If you have special circumstances that require consideration, please reach out to discuss your situation.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding as we make this necessary transition to ensure Kollabe's future.

Best regards, Matt
