Decide on revenue, not volume
Every feature request carries the account that asked and what that account pays. The backlog can sort by revenue at stake. For how the record works, see the product spine.
Startup program
The product management tool
for startups.
A startup does not need five product tools and a person syncing them. It needs one record that joins the roadmap, the customer feedback, the analytics and the revenue, so a three-person team can decide like a thirty-person team. That is what this is. And until you cross $500k ARR, it is half price.

Why one record
Why do startups outgrow their product stack so fast?
Because the stack was never designed as one thing. The tracker holds the work, the feedback tool holds the requests, the analytics product holds the behaviour, and billing holds the money. Every new hire adds seats to all of them, and every prioritization argument is settled by whoever remembers the customer best. At five people that is annoying. At fifteen it is how the wrong thing gets built.
One price that does not scale against you
Flat by tier, never per seat, and AI is never credit-metered. Your headcount growing is your win, not your tool vendor's. The math is on the pricing page.
Built for AI-native teams
A hosted MCP server exposes the whole spine to any MCP-capable assistant, and AI agents hold real seats from the first tier. What the MCP exposes.
The program
What does the startup program actually give you?
Four terms, no asterisks. The application takes about two minutes and is answered by a person.
50% off every plan
Start at $99.50/mo instead of $199. Team at $199.50 instead of $399. Business at $449.50 instead of $899. Every module, AI agents included, EU or US data residency. Nothing is stripped out of the startup price.
Until you reach $500k ARR, up to 100 months
Not a 3-month coupon that expires while you are still finding product-market fit. The startup price holds until your company crosses $500k in annual recurring revenue, for up to 100 months. That is over eight years of runway on the discount. Then you graduate to the standard price, because by then it is not the thing standing between you and shipping.
A person reads your application
The founder reviews every application himself and replies within two business days. Accepted startups get a personal code, not a mass coupon. If it is not a fit he will say so and tell you why.
Bootstrapped or funded, both qualify
The only bar is being under $500k ARR. Pre-revenue counts. A two-person bootstrapped team counts. A seed-stage company with 30 people counts. The form asks which you are so the reply can be specific, not so one of them gets rejected.
| Plan | Standard | Startup price | Sized for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Start | $199/mo | $99.50/mo | 5 members - 1 product - 2 AI agents |
| Team | $399/mo | $199.50/mo | 20 members - 3 products - 5 AI agents |
| Business | $899/mo | $449.50/mo | 75 members - 10 products - 15 AI agents - SSO/SAML |
The honest part
When is this the wrong call for a startup?
Three cases where you should not apply, said plainly, because a discount on the wrong tool is still the wrong tool.
You only need a tracker
If all you want is issues and sprints and you have no customers to join them to yet, a plain tracker is simpler and cheaper at that one job. Come back when a customer's revenue should be deciding your roadmap. How we compare to Jira, including where Jira wins.
You will not connect your data
The whole value is the join. If your billing, feedback and tracker will not be connected, you are paying for a spine and using a notepad. The 14-day runway exists exactly to test the join on your own data before you pay.
You are past $500k ARR
Then the startup price is not for you, and pretending otherwise on the form would make the first interaction a lie. Standard pricing is flat and public, and the pricing page has the full math.

Questions
Startup program FAQ
What is the best product management tool for a startup?
The best product management tool for a startup is one that joins the roadmap, customer feedback, product analytics and revenue on one record instead of spreading them over four subscriptions. A startup has no ops team to maintain sync between a tracker, a feedback inbox and an analytics tool. AIOProductOS is built exactly that way: one shared record per customer, every module included, flat pricing from $199/mo, and 50% off for startups until $500k ARR.
How does the AIOProductOS startup program work?
Apply on this page with your startup's name, stage and what you are building. The founder reviews every application personally and replies within two business days. Accepted startups get a personal code for 50% off any plan: Start at $99.50/mo, Team at $199.50/mo, Business at $449.50/mo. The discount holds until your company crosses $500k ARR, for up to 100 months, then you move to standard pricing.
How long does the startup discount last?
Up to 100 months, or until your company crosses $500k in annual recurring revenue, whichever comes first. That is more than eight years at half price, which is not a promotional coupon, it is a pricing tier for the stage you are at. Most startup programs cap at 12 months; this one is designed so the discount outlives your seed stage, not your first quarter.
Who qualifies for the startup discount?
Any startup under $500k in annual recurring revenue, bootstrapped or funded, from pre-revenue to Series A and beyond. There is no requirement to be in an accelerator, no minimum team size, and no time limit on how long you have existed. The application asks about your stage and stack so the reply can be specific.
What happens when we cross $500k ARR?
You graduate to standard pricing: Start $199/mo, Team $399/mo or Business $899/mo, still flat by tier and never per seat. Nothing else changes: same workspace, same data, same modules. The same graduation applies if you reach the 100-month cap first. The program is priced so that by the time you pay full price, the tool is carrying a company doing half a million in recurring revenue.
How much does product management software cost for a startup?
A typical startup stack spreads product work over an issue tracker, a feedback tool, an analytics product and a roadmap tool, each billed separately and usually per seat, so the total grows with every hire. AIOProductOS replaces that stack with one flat price: for startups under $500k ARR it is $99.50/mo for 5 members with every module and 2 AI agents included, and the price never meters seats inside a tier or AI usage.
Is this also a project management tool for startups and small teams?
Yes. Methodology-aware boards run Scrum, Shape Up, Waterfall or an experiment board per product, with sprints, releases and OKRs, so the project management layer a small team needs is built in. The difference from a plain project tracker is what sits under the board: every task carries the customer who asked for it and the revenue behind it, so a startup manages the project and the product on one record instead of two tools.
Can our AI assistant work with AIOProductOS?
Yes, and for an AI-native startup this is the reason to pick it. AIOProductOS ships a hosted MCP server with 71 tools over the whole product spine: customers, revenue, feedback, roadmap, work and code. Any MCP-capable assistant can read and operate the joined record, not one tool at a time. Named AI agents also hold real seats with role-scoped permissions, included from the first tier.
