/remind me to file expenses on the 1st of every month./remind me to ping about the Xanadu project in three hours.The following phrases all work for setting reminders that will alert you when intended. Simply type /remind followed by what you want to be reminded of and when. It’s built off a subtle bit of functionality that we call a slash command, and it’s quite alright if you didn’t already know about it. The solution to all of those problems in Slack is our reminder system. But what works for the small things? Things like remembering to ask a colleague about borrowing her USB flash drive when she gets into work tomorrow, picking that project brief back up once writer’s block subsides in a few hours, or reminding your whole team to post every morning about their projects for the day.

#IREMIND PRICING FREE#
And we’ve taken pricing into account from the very start to deliver you the best product at very affordable prices that also include AMAZING support! What’s our downside? Well we don’t have a free version but Minga is a modular system and you can check out our prices here. Minga is also very “social” and creates and safe and intentional place to collaborate with your entire school community. create unlimited groups for all the sports teams, clubs, classrooms and school groups.We do a lot more than just send out messages to teachers, students, staff and parents. Minga is all about simplifying and improving communication. Now for our selfless pitch… Minga is a great option to replace Remind at your school. Remind raised a lot of money from investors to help get a large user-base, but may that money is starting to run low. We know education loves FREE, but the fact is that totally free is not sustainable for anyone long term. Even if you’re using a free version of a product, someone else has to be paying enough money for their products to cover all the costs. The simple math we learn in business class is Revenue must be greater than Expenses. Secondly, every company needs to make profit to stay alive long-term. So, at the end of the day, if long-term cost is an issue, sending messages to all your teachers, students and parents via text message IS NOT a good strategy. Even if they get 50% better pricing, it still costs them $3.50 EVERY TIME YOU SEND A MESSAGE to those 1000 people. Remind sends A LOT of messages, so their pricing is likely better, but you get the idea. If you send a message with Remind to 1000 people, that costs $7. A large text message services provider, Twilio, charges about 0.7 cents per text message. The simple answer to all of this is that text messaging costs money.
First off, the Remind platform uses text messaging (also known as SMS) to deliver most of the hundreds of thousands of messages it sends every day. To understand what’s happening we need to get a bit technical and a bit business. So what’s going on? The Problem Explained We have spoken with a number of schools that have received quotes from $4000 to $15000 per year – for a platform that last year was free.
Some big changes in the school communication world recently as Remind (formerly Remind101) has implemented a firm pricing strategy and has been handing out quotes to schools across the USA and Canada that have surprised teachers and administrators.
