14-day free trial

Install in minutes.
See it land in a week.

Pulse installs into your Slack workspace like any other app. Slack tokens populate automatically through OAuth — no keys to paste. You turn on the rituals you want, and Pulse does the rest. No credit card, no "book a demo" gate.

STEP 1
Install from Slack

One-click OAuth. Scoped to what Pulse actually needs.

STEP 2
Sync members

Pulls full members from Slack — respects timezones on every send.

STEP 3
Turn on a ritual

Create a pairing program, a watercooler, or a newsletter. Each has its own schedule and audience.

What you get in the trial

Every feature, for the full 14 days.

  • Pairing programs with AI scoring + closed-loop starter learning
  • Channel-aware watercoolers with admin-approved AI proposals
  • Newsletter check-ins with per-question DM threads + personalized greetings
  • Post-meeting feedback DMs that inform future matches
  • Google Calendar / Outlook / Zoom integrations (per-user opt-in)
  • Engagement dashboard + dormant-users widget with thoughtful nudge action
  • Self-service DM commands: pause, snooze, don't-pair-me-with, delete-my-profile
  • Pairing-history CSV import to seed no-repeat rules

What happens after 14 days

Nothing, unless you choose to continue. We'll notify you before the trial ends. If you want to stay, add a card — Stripe handles the $2/person/month, prorated. If not, Pulse pauses cleanly; your data stays intact in case you change your mind.
