About this Deal

Shortcut is project management and issue tracking built for software teams, covering stories, sprints, docs and Git integrations. Shortcut runs its own startup program that gives 12 months free on the Business plan with SSO included, for new customers under 50 employees. The Business plan is listed at $12 per user per month on Shortcut's pricing page, so the perk is worth $144 per seat over the year, and more for a team. The claimed DigitalOcean Hatch offer of "2 months free of paid Standard Plan" is real and still printed on the DigitalOcean startups page, but Shortcut's pricing page no longer has a Standard plan at all (the plans are Free, Team $8.50, Business $12, Enterprise), so the direct route is both current and six times longer.
