Directus+ Team Plans, Starter Kits, and Full Launch

Bryant: It's been 3 months since we released Directus Plus, our premium companion subscription for developers building with Directus. The subscription includes access to powerful starter kits designed to help you ship projects faster and advanced workshops that are exclusive to members. So far, we've got over 100 plus individual developers and agencies in the Directus plus program, and we've gotten a ton of great feedback. But before I share some exciting new updates, first, let's run through all the things we've shipped to date. We've released a total of 7 starter kits for a lot of different use cases.

A learning management system to build custom courseware, a PIM system to manage all of your product data and catalogs, a multitenant SaaS application back end, a video streaming platform similar to Directus TV, a status page to keep users informed of any incidents or downtime, An onboarding checklist application that is perfect for managing new employees or even new clients. And our most recent starter kit, an AI content machine that works with our directus AI extensions to absolutely crush your content workflow, generate ideas from notes and recordings, create first drafts with a click of a button, and automatically translate content to multiple languages. We've also completed 2 workshops. In minimum viable billing, we use directus flows to accept payments for online products via Stripe. In database to data engine, we gave a sad lonely SQL database new purpose and equipped our non technical team members with REST APIs, dashboards, and automated workflows.

Now I'm sure Kev is saying, okay, enough of the past, Bryant. Tell them what's coming up. So let's hop into the updates. Our next starter kit drops this week. It's a virtual event registration platform inspired by our own Leap Week site.

You can now stop stringing together 30 different services to run online events for your company or for your clients. It's also the 1st starter kit to include a front end that already has all the plumbing connected to the Directus back end, enabling you to ship even faster. It includes registration and ticketing, personalized social images, a referral tracking system, and more. I'm also excited to announce a new Directus plus team plan. We heard your feedback.

And for teams, you wanted an easier way to share the value that Directus plus offers. Starter kits, training, and access to the private community channels. Pricing for the team plan will be $599 per year, which includes up to 20 developers. That's a huge savings over the individual plan. The team plan will be rolling out over the next couple weeks, so stay tuned to your inbox.

Lastly, the introductory period and the promotional pricing of $99 for the year will be available for just 2 more weeks. On July 1st, the cost of an individual plan for Directus Plus will go up to $299 annually. As we built and released more starter kits and firmed up the offering, this felt like the right moment to launch Directus Plus more fully. And with that, back to you, Kevin.
