Our values
Authenticity
We believe in building great software that works out of the box and doesn't cost the earth.
Collaboration
The best way to build software is to work with people who use it. This means we're always open to great ideas.

We don't user per user charging as it penalises growth. We charge a flat fee for unlimited users so growing doesn't hurt.

We believe in being transparent with our customers about what we're doing and why we're doing it.
