The Feature-Bloat Trap and How OutcomeOS Dodges It

Big “productivity” platforms found a perfect revenue loop:

1. Charge $$$ per seat for software that costs pennies to run.
2. Re-invest margins into armies of PMs shipping shiny features every week.
3. Sell the new candy as “added value” and nudge prices higher.

Fun to unwrap, useless after two sprints.
You spend more time tweaking dashboards than finishing work.

1. Bloat = Busywork in Disguise

Bloaty Habit	Hidden Cost
New widget every Friday	Training videos, status meetings, confusion
Infinite custom fields	Analysis paralysis; nobody fills them in
27 dashboard variants	More clicks, less thinking
Seat-based pricing	“Can Bob see this board?” ➜ permission babysitting

More clicks → slower cycles → higher bills.

2. OutcomeOS Flips the Script

OutcomeOS	Typical “All-In” Suite
Tasks, Projects, Cycles, AI Check-Ins — nothing else	Docs, whiteboards, Gantt, OKRs, chat, mind-maps, memo pads
Unlimited seats — flat price	Pay per human (and per guest)
AI removes work (proactive nudges)	AI adds work (another inbox)
$0 starter, max $149/mo	$1,500–$3,000/yr for 20 people

You save 3-5× and skip the feature hangover.

3. Math Check

• 20-seat “suite” @ $8–$12 per month ➜ $1,920–$2,880/yr
• OutcomeOS Pro ➜ $1,788/yr (and flat if you add more people)
• OutcomeOS Starter ➜ free, until you actually need AI horsepower.

4. Run Lean. Ship Faster.

• Fewer buttons = fewer questions
• Clear AI nudges = fewer meetings
• Flat pricing = fewer budgeting headaches

Pay extra for bells you’ll mute and whistles you’ll ignore—
or run lean with OutcomeOS and actually ship.

Your call. We’re ready when you are.
