Why We Simplified Our Pricing
July 10, 2025 · Scout Manager Team
For years, Scout Manager offered three pricing tiers: Standard ($45/year), Advanced ($65/year), and Premium ($95/year). Each tier unlocked different features, which meant units had to figure out which tier they needed — and often discovered they were missing a feature they wanted.
The Problem with Tiers
We heard the same feedback over and over:
- “Why can’t I send emails? Oh, I need the Advanced tier for that.”
- “We want to track advancement but we’re on Standard.”
- “Can we just pay for everything?”
Tiers created confusion, support tickets, and — worst of all — they prevented units from using features that would genuinely help them.
One Price. Everything Included.
Starting with Scout Manager 2.0, there’s one plan: $9.95/month.
That’s it. Every feature. Every unit. No gates, no upsells, no “contact sales for enterprise pricing.”
Why monthly?
- Lower commitment — $9.95/month is easier to approve than $95/year upfront.
- Cancel anytime — if your unit disbands or you switch tools, just cancel. No refund dance.
- Continuous value — we ship improvements every month. You always have the latest.
Why so cheap?
Scout Manager is built and maintained by volunteer scouters who understand the tight budgets units operate on. $9.95/month is less than a single pizza night — and it replaces the spreadsheets, group texts, and sticky notes you’re juggling today.
What This Means for Existing Users
If you were on the old Standard or Advanced tier, you now have access to every feature at a lower effective cost. No action needed — your account has been upgraded automatically.
