Why one flat price

Most workshop software makes you pick a tier

Then it charges per seat and tucks the feature you need into the plan above. We went the other way.

The usual way

  • Pay per seat, from the very first user
  • The feature you need is in the next tier up
  • Add-ons and "contact sales" for the rest

The Hoist way

  • One plan - that is the whole menu
  • 3 users included, then $10 each
  • Every feature, unlocked on day one
  • Transparent usage rates, nothing hidden
No surprises

The only things on top of the base price

Usage-based extras, charged at cost-plus-a-little. That's the entire rest of the bill.
