Oh, it would be the easiest thing for Padlet to be totally free. Other companies are able to offer their products for free. I’m sorry for subjecting you to our tyranny. It is tyrannical, it’s vain, it’s the way of the maker. It’s the “fancy” features that make us proud.
#PADLET EXTENSION FREE#
We only want to ship a version of our product that we can be proud of, free or paid. Padlet without images, video, drag and drop file uploads is just not Padlet. That’s close to 2 hours of teaching time saved every month if you use Padlet everyday as opposed to another product.
#PADLET EXTENSION CODE#
No need to write URLs on a whiteboard that students will mistype or paste printed copies of a QR code in every corner.
#PADLET EXTENSION BLUETOOTH#
It uses bluetooth and ultrasonic audio to beam your padlet to every student’s device. If you use it to share padlets in a classroom, you’ll save 5 minutes of setup time.
#PADLET EXTENSION PRO#
What I can say is that if you use Padlet Pro to its fullest potential, it will be well worth it. I won’t argue the price point because when someone says something is expensive, it is crass to say it is not. Is a plan that works for 9/10 people truly useless? $99 a year is outrageous. So 90% of our users, when they had absolutely no limits to the number of padlets they could create, chose to create no more than 3. They either just recycle the same padlets, or use padlets for 1–2 specific things. 90% of our users use less than 3 padlets. We didn’t come up with the number 3 using a Bingo cage. But our decisions are based on observing millions of accounts. You see how ten of your colleagues use Padlet and assume that’s how everyone uses it. Your understanding of Padlet is localized. If you delete 2 existing, you can create 5 more. If you have a quota of 10 padlets and you have already used 7, you can create 3 more. If you are out of space, you can either buy a phone with more storage, or you can just delete old files. Think of your padlet quota as storage space on your phone. If I delete padlets, does that change the quota?

No, unless you want to use more than your quota allows. As an existing user, will I lose the work I have created? We have not done a good job of communicating it to people. You continue to pay your original subscription price and enjoy the Pro features. You can see your quota in the account menu of your dashboard. The rationale behind this arithmetic is that three months worth of extra padlets would give you enough buffer that you can take your time to decide whether to stay in the new free plan, upgrade, or look for alternatives. Everyone gets the number of padlets already in their account + the number of padlets they have made since Jan 1, 2018. We have grandfathered all the existing users on the free plan. Backpack is priced at $1,499 per school per year (unlimited teachers and students). We also have Padlet Backpack and Briefcase which are “Padlet-in-a-box” solutions for schools and businesses. So, as a free user, while you can make fewer padlets than before, you can do a lot, lot more with every padlet you make. (This applies to you as well as any contributor on your padlet.)īoth free and pro users get: multi-touch drawing, audio recording, video recording, photo taking, image and YouTube search, maps, themes, reactions, comments, content moderation, search, stats, cross-platform video, and premium wallpapers.
