Goal tracking and commitment contracts·beeminder.com

Beeminder is a goal-tracking service that combines quantified self-tracking with commitment contracts. Users set a graphable goal and either report data manually or connect an integration/device to auto-report progress against a 'Bright Red Line'. If a user's data crosses the line ('derailing'), Beeminder charges their payment method a pledge amount, which increases after each derailment. It's free to use as long as the user stays on track, with premium plans offering extra features like unlimited goals and automatic weekends off.

Pricing

Beeminder's charges are structured as escalating commitment-contract pledges rather than a subscription: derailing (crossing your Bright Red Line) first risks a $5 charge, and the pledge amount increases after subsequent derailments. Users can sometimes start a goal at $0 at risk. No specific dollar price for 'Premium' plans is stated on these pages.

FreeFree

You must add a payment method to create goals, but you are not charged unless you cross your Bright Red Line (and can sometimes start with $0 at risk).

Free to create a goal and stay on the right side of the Bright Red Line; charged only if you derail
