The real cost comparison

Replacing a mid-level employee costs 50–200% of their salary. The knowledge they take with them? That's on top. If Understudy captures even one critical process before someone leaves, it's paid for itself for years.

Pricing FAQ

Common questions

What counts as a seat?

Anyone who creates or edits playbooks. Read-only viewers are free and unlimited on all plans.

Can I try Pro features before committing?

Yes — we offer a 14-day free trial of Pro with no credit card required.

How does this compare to Notion or Confluence pricing?

Notion is $10/seat/mo but gives you a blank page. Confluence is $6-11/seat/mo for the same. Understudy costs more per seat but the knowledge actually gets documented — because people talk instead of write. The ROI difference is massive when you consider that most wikis sit empty.

What happens to my data if I cancel?

You can export everything to PDF, Markdown, or JSON before canceling. We keep your data for 90 days after cancellation in case you change your mind.

Do you offer annual billing?

Yes — annual billing saves 20%. That brings Pro down to ~$23/seat/mo.

Is there a discount for nonprofits or education?

Yes. Nonprofits and educational institutions get 50% off all plans. Contact us to set it up.
