Fair Pricing Model

We want pricing to be fair, and for a project planning service, we believe a fair price should be based on the project team size. With The PlanMinder, you do not need to pay a license fee to install the software. The PlanMinder only checks for licenses when you run the scheduler. The scheduler is the part of The PlanMinder that calculates when things will be done and runs the Monte Carlo simulations.

In The PlanMinder, a user who is assigned tasks, scheduled, and reports time is called a developer. When running the scheduler, you need a license for each developer you have.

A license key is tied to the database, but not to a specific developer or user. Developers may come and go, and your team size may vary. You only pay for the number of developers currently on your team. We think that is fair.

For users who use The PlanMinder to read project reports, view planning, or follow up on costs, there is no extra charge. Only the number of developers counts. If you decide to no longer use The PlanMinder as a planning tool, you can still use it to look at your old plans and reports, without license costs. It is your data, so that seems fair.

Free Tier Mode

When your trial license ends, you can enter Free Tier Mode if you do not wish to pay for license keys. Free Tier Mode is available for up to seven developers and allows you to use The PlanMinder for free.

Monte Carlo simulations and associated uncertainty calculations are not available in Free Tier Mode. Automatic scheduling and all other functionality are still available.

No special setup is required to start using the free version of The PlanMinder. Install and enjoy the 60-day free trial. When the trial license expires, simply check the "Use Free Tier" box.

To access full functionality, obtain sufficient license keys. As long as you have no more than seven developers in The PlanMinder, you can always enter Free Tier Mode when your license keys expire.

Is Free Tier any good? Read this article. (TL;DR: Yes, it is. The disabled function is one that most other software doesn’t offer even as an option.)

How to Get License Keys

When you register a database, you will automatically receive a trial license key for 12 developers. The registered contact person will receive an email with a license key file. The license key will also be stored on our server.

If you want to try The PlanMinder with more than 12 developers, contact theplanminder@auspicia.se.

On the Settings / License Keys tab, you can view the current licensing status and any active or expired license keys stored in your database. Click the “Download Keys” button to download new keys from The PlanMinder’s server. If the server is unavailable for any reason, you can instead use “Load Key from File” to load keys from the file sent to you by email.

To obtain new license keys, click “Buy License Key”. This will open a web page in your default browser where you can purchase license keys.

This web page can only be opened from within The PlanMinder to ensure that the correct information needed to issue a license key is supplied to the server.

How The PlanMinder Will Make You Money

The information on this page is about what The PlanMinder costs. The benefits are worth much more.

Regardless of whether you currently are managing project plans in a different tool or manually in a spreadsheet, it is likely that you’ll find the time The PlanMinder saves in project administration alone pays the license fees many times over.

However, the greatest potential for savings lies in better project management. Having more up-to-date information enables you to make better decisions sooner. Stressed and overworked coworkers are more likely to make mistakes, are less efficient, and face greater health risks. According to the PMI report Pulse of the Profession, an average of 11.4% of investments is wasted due to poor project performance. Organizations that undervalue project management as a strategic competency for driving change report 67% more project failures. This is where the real savings happen.

The report Swedish-Project-Review-2020 shows a strong correlation between project success rate and the ability to manage and adapt to change. It also shows a strong correlation between risk management maturity level and project success rate. Handling change and risk are two of the key things The PlanMinder will help you with.

Let The PlanMinder help you get to the next level of organizational maturity.
