How it works
One journey, written once, run by every new hire.
01 · BUILD
Build a journey from blocks
Drag in ready-made steps like clone, boot the stack or open a warm-up PR, each with the commands that do it.
02 · INVITE
Invite boarders, free
New hires join with a free account and work through runbooks at their pace, from the app or the onboar CLI.

03 · UNBLOCK
See who needs a hand
Managers and buddies get a live cohort view, so a blocked VPN gets fixed on day one, not day five.
Pricing
Pay for the team that builds journeys. New hires ride free.
Flat price per workspace, not per seat. Pick a plan by how many journeys you run and how many people are on board.

Questions teams ask
Do new hires need a paid seat?
No. Boarder accounts are free forever. Anyone you invite can join your workspace and run the journeys you assign them.
Who counts as a member?
Everyone in your workspace: managers, buddies and the boarders going through a journey. Finished boarders can be archived to free up space.
What happens when we hit our journey limit?
Running journeys keep working. You can archive one or move up a plan to create the next.
Can we switch between monthly and yearly?
Yes, any time. Yearly billing works out to about two months free compared with paying monthly.
Which tools does onBoar connect to?
Slack or Microsoft Teams, GitHub or GitLab, GitHub Actions or CircleCI, Notion or Confluence, and PagerDuty or Opsgenie.
Is a journey only for first-day onboarding?
No. Teams also use journeys for project ramps and on-call rotations, so one engineer can be on several at once.
