How to get a free trial for larger groups and why the tool isn't free and we need to ask for payment for our work and service

First, we believe in fostering connection and enabling groups to come together as much as we can! This is why we offer the tool for free, with unlimited slides, interactions, decks, and events for smaller groups: you can host up to 10 players any time, totally for free.

If you would like to host more than 10 players, you can upgrade to host more people any time here. There's not a way to host more than 10 players without upgrading.

However, if you'd like to try it out before you commit to a year, there's a way (with a bit of a workaround) to get a free month before you sign up for an annual subscription: Learn how to get a free trial

Why we charge for the platform and our work

We're a small team working hard to create this product and support our families. Providing this service costs us time and money, and while we love to give away some of it for free so you can try it out, we need to charge for the product in order to pay for the infrastructure, maintain the software, and support the families of our employees.

We are not funded by venture capital or supported by a large corporation, and we are committed to charging a fair price that helps us continue to build and maintain this service while supporting the happiness and livelihood of our team.
