Steady review

Steady, which statushero.com now redirects to, prices by usage rather than by person. You buy coordination credits, starting at $25 a month for 500, and every plan includes unlimited users and all features. A Smart Check-in delivered to one person costs 1 credit, so a check-in for 5 people costs 5 credits, while goal updates and AI answers cost 5 credits each and LLM tokens are billed in blocks. Smart Check-ins go out through Slack or Microsoft Teams and pull in activity from tools such as GitHub, Jira, Linear and Asana, so updates carry context without extra typing. A Daily Digest, Goal Stories and Echoes AI agents build on those check-ins, and an API, CLI and MCP server connect Steady to scripts and agents. Credits do not expire while the account is active, and each new user brings 100 free credits. The trade-off is predictability: you have to estimate usage to know your bill.
