What Stand is
Stand is a web-based workspace for asynchronous daily stand-ups, team discussions, and accountability. Team members can post progress, intentions, blockers, and questions without joining a call, supporting people who begin work at different times. Colleagues can comment on updates, ask questions, and mention one another. Tasks include tags, due dates, comments, and assignment between team members. Optional mood sharing can accompany a stand-up. Dashboard and team views show blockers, team progress, and individual member performance. Stand offers Standard at $29 a month for up to 50 members, Business at $79 a month for up to 200, and Enterprise with custom pricing for over 200 and no maximum. All plans list unlimited daily stand-ups, teams, and team admins. A 14-day trial includes all features without requiring a credit card. Payments recur through Stripe until cancellation, with access continuing through the billing period.
