Before Scrintal’s MVP was ready, we, as a team, used many “productivity” tools that caused us lose time and flow looking for the information we needed to make a decision or to progress faster in our product research.
We lost transparency and clarity of our projects or progress in information silos. And we realized quickly that we were not alone!
Millions of knowledge workers around the world feel overwhelmed using several tools each day and waste time figuring out what to do with their clutter of ideas. This limits their creative potential.
Scrintal is a visual knowledge management tool
We started building Scrintal with one goal: to redefine the way knowledge workers organise themselves, think more creatively and easily share knowledge.
Scrintal is a visual knowledge base that empowers knowledge workers to plan, ideate, develop and share ideas without friction in one place.
29000+ people have joined our waitlist as of July 29, 2022. We are humbled by the sheer number of emails from people all over the world asking for access to use Scrintal.
Now it’s time to open a new chapter in Scrintal’s life so that more people can turn their cluttered ideas into connected, meaningful actions in a beautifully designed, minimal visual interface.
Scrintal supports live collaboration
How we decided on Scrintal’s pricing together with our users
Having a user-centric design philosophy has been our priority at Scrintal since day 1.
We released our MVP to only 12 people on Dec 3rd 2021. Before then, we spoke with at least 100 people to understand what their biggest challenges when it comes to daily knowledge management, and their distinct needs.
This gave us a pretty good idea about what type of product and design philosophy would fit the distinct needs of people who want to turn ideas into outcomes.
Since the MVP release, working closely with a tight-knit community, and blending their feedback into our vision has been an integral part of Scrintal’s product development.
Road to pricing 1.0
During the last few months, many people have been asking about how much Scrintal will cost and when we’ll release access.
We felt that the decision of putting a price tag on Scrintal should also be a collaborative effort, not a result of a top-down approach.
On July 6, we sent out a short survey to everyone who joined our waitlist and asked their input on pricing.
We are grateful that 1400+ people shared their thoughts in this survey.
What made us happy is that almost 50% of the people who have used Scrintal said they would be willing to subscribe to a paid plan.
A glimpse into Scrintal Pricing Survey
Another good news was that those who tried Scrintal were willing to pay 60% more than those who haven’t tried.
Clearly, our early users are deriving value from Scrintal even at its early stage.

On the other side of the spectrum, there seemed to be a large pool of people in our waitlist who demanded access to Scrintal with an affordable price given their unfamiliarity with the product and/or pricing sensitivities.
We listened to all the feedback and put together a reasonable plan for those who want to use Scrintal as soon as possible.

Starting in September, those who would like to use Scrintal right away will receive 1 year access for $60.

Personal plan — for free 🎉
Going back to the conversations we’ve had with our waitlisters and analyzing the feedback from the pricing survey, we decided to introduce a personal plan that will allow anyone to get a feel of Scrintal and decide if this is the right tool for them — for free.
This plan will offer limited features but will be robust enough to take you from thinking to producing to sharing ideas in one place — 5x faster compared to using several apps.
Details and introduction date of this plan will be announced later in 2022.
Product roadmap moving forward
Scrintal will evolve around 3 pillars of knowledge management:
Think (brainstorm/plan)
Develop (write/search)
Share (present/export)
supported with light task management functions.
So you can expect a lot of new features and upgrades that will enhance your user experience around these even after you start using Scrintal.
All the existing and upcoming features will be available to both single users and collaborating teams.
