Higher plans are coming
Invoicing, advanced and custom reporting, and more storage will land in a plan above this one. We are packaging that properly rather than shipping a half-empty tier to look bigger.
Founding Agency Pass holders get every future plan included.
The AI tax, out loud: most tools sell AI as a per-seat add-on stacked on top of the plan. A 5-person team on ClickUp Business wanting the AI features that actually work pays about $235/mo once Everything AI is added. The same team on ManyRequests Pro is $219/mo. On Sideline it is $49/mo, AI included, with no per-message meter.

The Founding Agency Pass
For the first 20 agencies that bet on us: $999, once. Three years of everything, including every plan we add later, with 10 seats instead of 5, free migration, your logo on this site, and a direct line to the founders. After three years, a locked 50%-off-forever rate.
That's about 17 months' worth at list price, for 36 months of product. When the 20are gone, they're gone.

How does the free trial work?
14 days, every feature, no credit card. Tell us about your agency and we'll set your workspace up (clients imported, intake form configured) within 24 hours. If it's not for you, we'll export your data, no hard feelings.
Do clients count as seats?
Never. Seats are for your team. Invite every client and every client teammate, unlimited, on every plan, forever.
What counts as "fair use" for AI replies?
Normal agency volume, drafting and polishing replies across your queue, is simply included. If an account is doing something wildly automated we'll talk, but there's no per-message meter to watch.
Why is $49 called an introductory price?
Because it is one. Sideline does more today than it did six months ago and that will keep being true, so the list price will rise as the product grows. The promise is simple: whatever rate you join at is the rate you keep, for as long as you stay. Early agencies are taking a bet on us, and the price they lock in is how we pay that back.
Are AI Connectors really on every plan?
Yes. Connecting Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, or an automation tool to your Sideline data is included in Studio. It is not an add-on, not Pro-only, and not metered: some tools now ship connectors but cap them at a few hundred calls a day unless you buy an AI add-on per seat. Ours has no call limit. Connections are read-only by default; an Account Owner can allow writes, and even then only status, priority, due dates, and draft replies that a human still has to send. Every connection is scoped to the person who authorized it.
How much file storage is included?
500GB included, with files up to 10GB each. Need more? Add 500GB for $19/month. Heavy media team? Linking is always free: paste Google Drive, Dropbox, or Frame.io links into any request and keep your masters where they live. Links never touch your quota.
Is white-label included?
It will be, in this plan, at no extra cost. Your own domain, your logo and colors across the portal and every email, and "Powered by Sideline" removed. It is in development now rather than shipped, and we moved it into Studio rather than gating it behind a higher tier because branding should not be a premium feature.
Why is there only one plan?
Because splitting features across tiers mostly serves the vendor. Everything Sideline does today is in this one plan: the queue, the client portal, AI, time tracking, retainers, connectors, all of it. When we add something substantial enough to carry its own tier, we will price it then. Founding Agency Pass holders get every future plan included regardless.
Is the Founding Agency Pass a lifetime deal?
Deliberately not. Lifetime deals tend to end badly for everyone. It's three years of everything, including every plan we add, for one payment (about 17 months' worth at list), then a locked 50%-off-forever rate. You get founder pricing; we stay in business to keep earning it.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Monthly plans cancel with a click, annual plans refund unused full months, and you can export your requests, files, and time data whenever you like. Your data is yours.
Something else? hello@sideline.io , a founder replies, usually same day.
