Pricing
It is $19 a month, and that is the whole of it.
One price, full access. Everything the product does, from the first day. No free plan, no upgrade path, and nothing held back to sell you later.
Fourteen days of full access, no card
Full access for 14 days. Nothing switched off, nothing metered, no card.
A free plan would put you on a worse version of the product and let you judge the real one by it. Use the actual thing for two weeks instead.
What full access includes
One list, because there is one tier. Nothing below is an add-on and nothing is reserved for a higher plan.
- Every inbox and calendar you connect, Google or Microsoft
- More than one account per provider, routed to different worlds
- Your ClickUp tasks, and it writes back to ClickUp when you act on them
- Task feeds from Asana, Monday, Notion, Todoist and Trello, read only: they show on your board and stay untouched in their own tool
- Or none of those. The board keeps its own tasks, so not using a task tool does not shut you out
- Four lanes, routed by the action a thing needs rather than by priority
- The simmer lane, with the rule that set each thing aside and receipts you can pull back
- Drafts written in your voice, on the card, next to the message they answer, and never sent for you
- Orbi voice, press to talk
- Why reasoning on any card, so nothing is a black box
- Slack and Discord channels you choose, routed onto the same board
- Three worlds, sorted and kept apart
- Banked Time, counted per world, with the arithmetic on screen
What it does not do yet
Every product page is a list of what a thing does. This is the other list. Read it before you start the trial, not in week two.
- If you connected your mailbox before drafting shipped, the draft does not reach it until you reconnect once. A permission you already granted does not widen by itself.
- It offers you meeting times and cannot take one. The bookings lane reads your calendar and proposes real slots. Putting the hold in is still you.
- It shows you the task and cannot close it. Every board it reads, ClickUp, Asana, Monday, Notion, Todoist, Trello, it reads only. You do the work, then you go mark it done where it lives.
- It reads Slack and does not answer in Slack.
- It does not do LinkedIn.
- It does not learn you. Its judgment on day one hundred is the same as on day one.
- It does not keep notes yet. You can talk to it, and nothing is stored and nothing is read back into a draft.
- It runs on a schedule through the working day, not the second something lands.
- By voice it marks things done and sets things aside. Creating and editing are taps.
These get shorter. When one of them ships, the line comes off this page and the price does not move.
What it has given back, on one board
Between 22 July and 11 August 2026, 20 days, my own board banked more than 24 hours.
That is the overhead of deciding where something goes, credited when an item is cleared. Not the time to do the work. And it is one operator on one board, which is mine, so read it as evidence the thing runs rather than as a customer result. There are no customer results yet. When there are, we will say whose they are.
On the number itself
Nineteen dollars is a common price here, and it usually means the annual rate.
Ours is $19 a month, month to month, with everything in it.
The first 100 members pay $19 for life
Not a countdown and not a sale. A count, so that we can answer member 101 honestly when they ask.
The first 100 members pay $19 for life. After those 100, the list price is $29.
Cancel or delete your account and the founding price goes with it. It is not reservable and it does not come back.
It covers the product as it is sold here. If xBound ever ships a genuinely separate product, this lock does not extend to it.
Teams
$19 per seat, 5 seats minimum, and annual invoicing if your finance team prefers it. There is no team tier, because there is no team version of the product. Every seat gets the same thing an individual gets, and each person sees only what needs them.
The Deployment Workshop is $3,500, up to five seats, and $250 for each seat after that. A working session rather than onboarding. We sit with your admin, map your operation onto the system, and get the team running on it properly. Optional.
The app is $19. A build is not. Same board either way
xBound does two things. It sells this app at $19 a month, and it builds agents and intelligent GTM systems for companies. That engagement is $35,000 to $50,000 over twelve weeks, scoped on the call. Then $6,000 to $12,000 a month to run it, scaled to what we built.
The product is what I built for myself, packaged. In an engagement we build that same kind of system around your operation. Same thinking, very different scope.
There is a team behind delivery. The twelve weeks are scoped against what that team can hold.
It is the same board either way. What you would see in an engagement is what you are looking at in the trial.
Frequently Avoided Questions
The ones worth asking before you hand a mailbox to software you did not write.
Price and billing
Do I need a card to start?
No. Fourteen days of full access, nothing metered and nothing switched off, with no card taken.
Nothing charges you when the fourteen days are up, because there is nothing on file to charge.
Is there a free plan?
No. A free plan does not put you on the product, it puts you on a worse version of it, and then you judge the real thing by how that felt.
Two weeks of the actual thing is a better trade for both of us.
Can I cancel?
Any time, from inside the application. You do not have to email us to do it.
Will the price go up?
Yes, and you should have the number rather than a hint of one.
The first 100 members pay $19 for life. That is not tied to a date and it does not expire on you.
After those 100, the list price is $29.
The condition is one sentence and we would rather you read it here than meet it later. Cancel or delete your account and the founding price goes with it. It is not reservable and it does not come back.
Can I pay annually?
Teams can, from five seats, if your finance team would rather hold one invoice than twelve card charges.
On your own it is month to month. The section above is why we are careful with annual pricing: it is usually where a monthly number goes to look smaller than it is.
Do I have to buy the Deployment Workshop?
No. It is $3,500, it covers up to five seats, and each seat after that is $250.
A working session, not onboarding. We sit with your admin, map your operation onto the system, and get the team running properly. Priced separately so the seat price stays honest for everyone who does not want it.
What it actually does
Can I connect more than one mailbox?
Yes, more than one account per provider, and you say which world each account belongs to.
Two Gmail accounts can land on two different boards and never see each other.
Does it send email for me?
No. "We would never" and "we cannot" are different promises, and only one is checkable, so here is which you get on each provider.
Microsoft is the checkable one. Drafts use Mail.ReadWrite, which Microsoft documents as not including permission to send. Sending is a separate permission, Mail.Send, and we do not ask for it.
Google is the weaker one. Google has no scope that writes a draft without also allowing send, so we hold one that could. Nothing in the app calls send.
The reply lands on the card, next to the message it answers. You read it, change it, and send it from wherever you normally send.
Does it write back to my task tools?
To ClickUp, yes. Act on a ClickUp task from the board and the board writes that back to ClickUp.
The rest are read only today. They show up on your board and stay untouched in their own tool, which is the safe half of the loop and the half that shipped first.
Can I make it stop for the weekend?
Yes. Put it to sleep and it stops refreshing until you wake it.
There is no notification to mute, because there are none. Sleep is per browser today, so if you use it on a phone and a laptop, you sleep each one.
Can I refresh it myself?
Yes, any time, from the board. It also refreshes on its own through the working day and when you come back to the tab.
Does it work in real time?
No. It sweeps on a schedule through the working day rather than the second something arrives.
You can refresh it yourself any time you want the current picture. And you can put it to sleep for the weekend, which stops it calling out until you wake it.
There are no notifications and nothing to mute. Opening the board is the notification: what needs you is showing, and what does not has already been set aside.
What is Banked Time?
It counts the overhead of deciding where something goes, credited when you clear an item. Not the time to do the work.
The arithmetic sits on the same screen as the total, because a number you cannot defend is worth nothing.
Your data
Is my email used to train an AI model?
No. Not to develop, train, or improve any generalized model.
The privacy page says that in those words because Google requires the wording, and the wording is the same either way.
What does it actually keep?
The board, which is a set of short cards, and the log of what you did with them.
The raw messages are read to build the card and not retained afterward.
Where does the AI part come in, exactly?
Reading. A model reads what arrives and decides which lane it belongs in, it writes a draft when you ask for one, and it explains why a card is on your board when you ask that.
Tasks never go near it. You already decided a task was work, so re-asking a model that question costs money and adds an opinion nobody wanted.
On a team, can other people see my board?
No. Every seat gets the same product and each person sees only what needs them. There is no manager view, because there is no team version of the product to put one in.
What happens if I leave?
You delete the account yourself, from the account drawer, without asking us.
It cancels the subscription first, then removes the account, the tokens, the board and the action log. That order is deliberate: billing a deleted account is the one version of this bug that nobody left inside can undo.
The harder questions
Why would I trust it to decide what needs me?
It does not decide what matters to you. It decides what kind of action a thing needs, which is a smaller claim and a checkable one.
Ask why on any card and it tells you what put it there. Nothing on the board is meant to be a thing you take on faith.
What if it gets it wrong?
Then something is in the wrong lane and you move it. That is the whole cost.
Nothing it does is one way. It does not send, delete or decline anything for you, and everything it set aside is one button from coming back. The read only permissions are what make that true.
Does it learn how I work?
Not yet. Its judgment on day one hundred is the same as on day one.
We would rather you read that here than discover it in month four.
How is this different from a scheduler, or a faster inbox?
A scheduler decides when you do things. A fast inbox decides how quickly you get through them. Both assume everything reaches you first.
This decides whether a thing reaches you at all, and what kind of move it needs if it does. Three different problems, and we are only claiming the third one.
Is this just a wrapper on a chat model?
A model does the reading. Nothing else here is a model: the schedule, what a lane means, what gets set aside and the rule that says so, and which permissions it may hold at all.
A wrapper is a prompt with a text box in front of it. The difference is the schedule, the permission boundary, and the receipts.
Who built it?
I built the first version for myself, and I run my own three worlds on it every day. The banked figure above is off my board, not a customer's.
It is not one person any more. A team built it out from there, and a team delivers the engagements.
There are no customer results yet. When there are, we will say whose they are.
Something not answered here is worth an email. It is hello@xbound.ai and a person reads it.
Fourteen days, no card.
Connect every mailbox, calendar and task tool you run, and see what it hands back on the first morning.
What the board actually does, with the demo running, is on the app page.
