About the Beta
Carrots is currently in free beta with no charge to download or use. The beta has a rolling deadline — you may be prompted to update to the latest version to continue using the app. This is intentional: it keeps everyone on the latest build and gives us a real feedback window before moving to paid.
When Carrots launches officially, it will include a 30-day free trial. Early access pricing will be $39 per year for 2 seats, locked in permanently for early adopters. The standard price will increase to $49 or $59 per year after the early access period ends.
