Pricing (2026)
✓ Pricing re-verified 23 Aug 2026
(2026) Genuinely free tier: $0/mo for 1 member, 2 projects, unlimited collaborators, chat/tasks/files. Paid (billed annually): Starter $29/mo ($348/yr) — 1 member, 5 projects, NO pipelines; Growth $79/mo ($948/yr) — 3 members, 10 projects, 1 pipeline, AI; Pro $159/mo ($1,908/yr) — 10 members, 20 projects, 2 pipelines; top tier $299/mo ($3,588/yr) — 40 projects, 1,500 AI credits. Plans change — always verify the live price on their site.
What the pricing page doesn’t say
The CRM pipeline is a big part of the pitch, but it doesn't exist below the $79 Growth plan (Free and Starter have none), and member limits are tight: Starter is a single seat, Growth just three. The listed rates also assume annual billing.
What Team Pulse does
Projects, tasks, chat, files and a light CRM pipeline in one tool. The tiers gate on members and projects at once, and the pipeline does not exist below the $79 Growth plan — Starter at $29 is a single seat with five projects. The listed rates assume annual billing.
What buyers report about Team Pulse
Recurring themes from the buyer-review sites listed at the foot of this page, read in August 2026. We have not run Team Pulse ourselves, so this is other buyers' experience rather than ours. We summarise it here because the complaints are usually the part a vendor page leaves out.
- • Reminders, task management and seeing who is clocked in work well, and reviewers use the mobile app daily for exactly that.
- • Support is described as exceptional. Around $15 a month for one user, roughly $150 for ten.
- • Several employees find it too complicated and prefer other tools — adoption is the risk, not the feature list.
- • Sequencing needs drag-and-drop; reviewers ask for it directly.
- • The iOS and Android apps behave differently, and reviewers want them identical.
When the paid plan is worth it
The paid tiers raise volume limits at every step, but Starter and Pro also add features Free and Growth respectively lack, not just more room. Free gives 15 AI credits and 1GB storage a month, with no AI Assist chat. Starter adds AI Assist chat and scheduled messages alongside 100 AI credits and 25GB storage. Growth is the first plan with a pipeline — Starter's own feature list states "No pipelines" — and it also adds My To-Dos, AI workflow generation, and project-level AI insights, at 250 AI credits and 100GB storage.
Pro adds advanced AI insights, built-in meetings, and advanced activity tracking on top of Growth's feature set, reaching 750 AI credits and 500GB storage. Scale pushes AI credits to 1,500 a month, but still caps out at 20 members and 4 pipelines — a higher seat ceiling, not an unlimited one. So each tier above Free buys either more headroom or a specific new capability — chat, workflow generation, meetings, activity tracking — rather than a fundamentally different tool: teams that outgrow 20 seats won't find a higher tier to move to.
How to actually use Team Pulse
Team Pulse documents a three-step setup on its own marketing site: create a first project or pipeline, invite your team, then start adding tasks or deals, with no complex configuration or training sessions required, per the vendor's FAQ. That same FAQ states most teams are up and running in under two minutes. There is no separate docs site, help center, changelog, or status page: the help., docs., status., support., and changelog.
subdomains on goteampulse.io do not resolve. And no public bug reports or user discussion threads turn up for the product, so friction points aren't documented outside the vendor's own tier limits. The clearest one is on the pricing page. Pipelines, the CRM piece of the pitch, aren't listed among Free's or Starter's features: Starter's tier explicitly states "No pipelines," and Growth is the first to list one. So testing that angle before upgrading to Growth hits a dead end.
And Free's 15 AI credits a month is the tightest allotment on the pricing page, with AI Assist chat itself withheld until Starter.
Distilled from Pricing/plan data and FAQ copy read from goteampulse.io's own live React bundle (https://goteampulse.io/pricing and https://goteampulse.io/, re-fetched and re-read 2026-08-11 for this fix, and again this session with the team-pulse_fix2 prefix) — the static HTML only serves an SEO fallback shell, so the rendered tier data (prices, member/project/pipeline caps, AI credit and storage allotments per plan, per-tier feature lists, and FAQ answers) was verified in the site's loaded JS asset (/assets/index-BWtZcsy_.js, fetched fresh this session via verrijk_fetch.py as team-pulse_fix2_jsbundel.html, 1,796,673 bytes, sha256 9b5a7cba2cc8449755eaa604270ed73270f429b45db7f2eb75f55f38d52b7a06, served from goteampulse.io, brand string "Team Pulse" present 22x). The same bundle also carries the site's own "Team Pulse vs Asana" feature-comparison table, read to check the premium_worth custom-fields claim. This session I read the full plan-config array ($Ce=[...]) in that bundle directly to ground the pipeline-count claims the gate flagged: Free's feature list has no pipeline line at all (no explicit 0 stated), Starter's list states the literal string "No pipelines", Growth's states "1 pipeline" (and also lists "My To-Dos", a feature absent from Free's and Starter's lists — added to premium_worth, which previously omitted it while implying an exhaustive list of Growth's additions), and Pro's states "2 pipelines". Subdomain checks for help./docs./status./support./changelog.goteampulse.io (read 2026-08-11, all non-resolving) confirmed no separate docs/help/changelog/status infrastructure. WebSearch for goteampulse.io on Reddit and for a changelog/status/help center returned no relevant results (read 2026-08-11).
Team Pulse vs ClickUp, side by side
Both columns come from the same place: each vendor’s own published pricing, read on the date shown in the sources at the foot of this page. We do not average them into a score.
Both names above are affiliate links: we may earn a commission if you sign up, at no extra cost to you. Neither changes what this table says: both columns come straight from the vendors’ own pricing pages.
The natural comparison is ClickUp — ClickUp is the established all-in-one work platform with generous free seats; Team Pulse bundles a CRM pipeline plus AI in a simpler package — cleaner to start, but the member and project caps are tighter as you grow.

Frequently asked questions
What should I weigh before buying Operations & Workflow software?
Usually it sits on top rather than replacing everything. Tools in this class tend to become the layer where work is tracked and handed off, while your existing systems stay the source of truth for their own data. Before you buy, map which tools it would replace outright and which it would merely sync with. If the answer is that it syncs with all of them, you are adding a layer rather than removing one.
