Why I Built ProKR Free (And Why It's Staying That Way)

I used to run a nonprofit. Then I ran a small agency. Then a team at a bigger company.

In all three, I watched great teams try to set goals — and fail — because their tools were either too expensive, too complex, or too bloated to actually use.

The big OKR platforms charge $15-25 per user per month. For a 10-person team, that's $1,800-$3,000/year just to write down what you want to accomplish this quarter. Absurd.

So I built ProKR.

What ProKR Does

• OKRs — Objectives, key results, check-ins, alignment, scoring, retrospectives. Full cycle.
• Project Management — Kanban, Table, Calendar views. Tasks with dependencies, subtasks, and labels.
• CRM — Pipeline management for sales or relationship tracking.
• Grant Tracking — Applications, deadlines, budgets, compliance tasks (for nonprofits).
• AI Summaries — Personalized daily briefings so you know what to focus on.

All free. All unlimited users. Forever.

How I Keep It Free

Three things:

1. I built it solo. No investors. No VCs to answer to. No growth-at-all-costs pressure.
2. Donations fund hosting. If ProKR saves your team time, you can throw a few bucks in the tip jar. Most people don't. That's fine.
3. The stack is lean. Next.js on Vercel, Supabase, Prisma. I'm not burning cash on infrastructure.

Why You Should Try It

If you're tired of tools that promise the world and cost a fortune — or worse, hide the best features behind a paywall called "Enterprise" — give ProKR 10 minutes.

Start free at prokr.io — no credit card, no trial, no sales call.

Or just try the demo. It takes 5 seconds.
