Does Pools (fka Withfriends) publish its pricing?

Not in any source we can verify. Pools (fka Withfriends) is a Y Combinator-backed Consumer company from the Winter 2019 batch, and companies at this stage usually quote per customer rather than publish rate cards. We will not guess at a number — anything quoted elsewhere without a source is guesswork too. The company profile we work from is the Y Combinator listing; the current figure has to come from Pools (fka Withfriends) directly.

How to get an accurate Pools (fka Withfriends) quote

  1. Ask for pricing at your actual volume, not the headline tier — per-seat and usage pricing diverge fast.
  2. Ask what happens at renewal. Uplift caps matter more than the first-year discount.
  3. Get the onboarding, migration and support costs in writing separately.
  4. Ask for a month-to-month option. If it does not exist, that tells you about the annual price.
  5. Quote a competitor from the table below. It is the fastest way to a real number.
