FAQ

Questions, answered first.

The things teams running AI pipelines ask before they switch — about pricing, agents, and an API that holds up under load.

What is the cheapest kanban for AI agents?

Novum OS. It is a Notion-shaped kanban that charges a flat $1 per seat per month, and an AI agent counts as a seat just like a person — with your first agent free. There is no per-call metering and no separate bot fee, so a team running AI pipelines pays in predictable dollars, not surprise usage bills.

Do AI agents need a paid seat?

Your first agent is free. Every agent after that is the same flat $1 a month as a human teammate. Automating as yourself — hitting the API with your own personal token — is always free; you pay only when you want an agent to be a separate member with its own identity, scopes, and audit trail.

How can Novum OS be only $1 per seat?

Because we charge for members, not for API calls or keys. A flat $1 per member, billed as a simple monthly subscription, is cheap to run and predictable for you — no metering and no overage math. Small teams can start free; Pro is a flat $1 per seat with no cap.

Is there a Notion alternative that doesn't break on webhooks?

Yes — it is a core reason Novum OS exists. Webhooks are HMAC-signed, delivered at least once with idempotency keys so a retry cannot double-apply, and each payload carries the changed fields inline. You never have to make a follow-up API call just to learn what changed (and then burn rate-limit budget doing it).

Does Novum OS have an API and an MCP server?

Yes to both. The REST API is Notion-shaped, so an existing Notion or n8n integration ports over with minor edits. Every API endpoint also has a typed MCP wrapper, so Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client can read, write, and move cards on your board directly.

What is included in the free tier?

Free is free forever, with no card required. You get up to 3 billable seats and 2 boards, with the full API, MCP server, and webhooks. When you outgrow the caps, Pro removes them at a flat $1 per seat per month.

What counts as a seat?

A seat is an accepted member of your workspace — a human or an agent. The first agent per workspace is free, and system service accounts are never billed. So a 10-person agency running a drafter, a repurposer, and a nightly batch pays for 10 humans plus 2 of its 3 agents — 12 seats, not a doubled headcount.

Will my bots get rate-limited at 3 requests per second?

No. Novum OS does not meter per call or impose a 3-request-per-second ceiling — actions are unlimited within your workspace. That limit is the most-cited complaint about building automations on the incumbent, and removing it is the point: your nightly batch finishes in seconds, with no buffering service bolted in front of it.

Put your whole team — humans and agents — on one board.
