Sign up & your team
Sign in at app.exponential.at with Google. Your account is created on first sign-in, with no separate registration step. On first launch you either create a team (pick a name, you become its owner) or join an existing one by pasting an invite link.
Everything in Exponential lives inside a team: boards, issues, labels, members, connected repositories. Teams are private and invite-only. The outside world reaches you only through the embeddable feedback widget.
Create your first board
On your first visit a short wizard walks you through creating a board. Two choices matter:
Name and prefix
The prefix is a short uppercase code that numbers every issue on the board. Prefix EXP gives you EXP-1, EXP-2, and so on. Those identifiers follow the issue everywhere: branch names (exp/EXP-42), PR titles, and #EXP-42 references in comments.
Repository (optional)
A board is just a board: issues, statuses, labels, comments. It works as well for ops, content, or user feedback as it does for code. Connect a GitHub repository (during creation or any time later) and the board gains the coding loop: coding sessions, branches, and pull requests.
Connect GitHub
Repositories connect through a GitHub App, not personal access tokens: the server mints short-lived, per-repo installation tokens whenever one is needed, and nothing long-lived is ever stored. Each installation is claimed by a specific team, so access never bleeds across teams.
- Open Team settings → Repositories (or hit Connect GitHub inside the board-creation flow, which does the same thing).
- Approve the GitHub App for your account or organization and choose which repositories it may access. GitHub sends you straight back when you're done.
- Pick repositories from the picker to register them with your team. The picker only offers repos from installations your team has claimed. To add more, grant the App access on GitHub's installation settings page.
A board backed by a repository gets the full coding loop: Start coding on any issue, automatic exp/<IDENTIFIER> branches, server-opened pull requests linked back to the issue, and automatic completion when the PR merges. Details in Coding agents.
Invite your team
Open Team settings → Members and create an invite link. Anyone who follows it joins your team. Invites are single-purpose tokens you can revoke any time before they're accepted.
Roles are owner and member. Owners manage the team: settings, members, repositories, widgets, billing, board deletion. Every member can edit issues, triage feedback, manage comments, and edit statuses and labels. There is no read-only seat.
Plans
The cloud is per-seat: Free for teams of up to three, and one paid Team plan at €12/seat/month billed yearly (€15 billed monthly) with everything included. Full details are on the pricing page.
- Coding needs no plan. Your agent runs on your machine, on your own agent subscription. Boards, repos, and coding sessions are unlimited on every tier, including Free.
- Every tier includes the feedback widget. Free comes with one, Team with unlimited widgets and the helpdesk.
- Self-hosting is free for everyone. It's open source under Apache-2.0. Self-hosted is the default mode: every plan limit is off, billing included. Optional Enterprise Support is available if you want an SLA.
