Waffle for startups

Punch above your headcount

A small team gets chat, voice, and an AI teammate that writes the documents, decks, and spreadsheets a bigger team would have people for. It all lives in one tool instead of a chat app plus a stack of separate AI subscriptions, so a startup produces like a larger company without hiring like one.

Waffle AI is a real member of your team chat, not a separate tab you switch to. You mention it like any teammate and its reply lands once, finished, with any files attached. Ask for a one pager, a pitch outline, or a first budget, and you get a real file back in the thread, drafted while the rest of the team keeps talking.

What a startup gets on day one

• Create a team in about two minutes, no credit card required.
• Waffle AI included from the free plan, ready the moment your team exists.
• An AI teammate that writes docs, decks, and budgets as real Word, PowerPoint, and Excel files.
• One click voice channels with screen share for standups and pairing.
• A web app, desktop apps for macOS, Windows, and Linux, and a real mobile layout.
• Connect GitHub and Linear so Waffle AI works in the tools your team already uses.

One bill instead of several

Waffle replaces your chat app and the AI subscriptions sitting next to it. Instead of paying for a team chat tool and then a separate AI seat per person, you get both in one per seat price. The Free plan includes Waffle AI, and every paid plan comes with a 14 day free trial.

For an early team, that is one line item to track instead of several. Pro starts at 12 USD per user per month billed annually, or 15 USD monthly, and Business starts at 20 USD per user per month billed annually. Billing is per seat, so you pay for the people on your team and nothing more, and buyers are charged in their local currency at checkout.

Every plan includes a monthly pool of Waffle AI usage: up to 50 runs per workspace on Free, 500 per seat on Pro, and 1,500 per seat on Business. Bigger jobs draw more from the pool than quick answers do, so the run count is a ceiling rather than a fixed quota. Usage is pooled across the workspace, so a larger team gets a larger shared pool. You can start on Free with no card and upgrade only when you need to.

Frequently asked questions

Is Waffle good for a small team?

Yes. Waffle is built for small teams that want to move fast. You get channels, direct messages, threads, and voice in one place, plus Waffle AI as a real member of your chat. A team of two or ten gets an AI teammate that writes documents, decks, and spreadsheets, so a small headcount can produce like a larger one.

Is there a free plan for startups?

Yes. The Free plan includes team chat with Waffle AI, no credit card required. It comes with up to 50 Waffle AI runs per workspace each month. When you need more, Pro starts at 12 USD per user per month billed annually, and every paid plan includes a 14 day free trial. You only pay per seat.

Can Waffle AI make slide decks and spreadsheets?

Yes. Mention Waffle AI in a channel and it writes real files and attaches them to its reply: PowerPoint decks, Excel spreadsheets, Word documents, PDFs, CSV files, and Markdown or text. It can also read a file you share, like a spreadsheet or a wall of text, and answer with specifics, so it drafts the artifacts a bigger team would assign to a person.
