# Unblockd > Keep teams and sponsors connected around progress, reviews, decisions, and blockers. AI prepares the communication. You direct what happens next. Unblockd helps project leads keep teams and sponsors connected around progress, reviews, decisions, and blockers. AI prepares communication from project evidence. The lead reviews and directs it; the sponsor responds; the team follows through. ## Key facts - Sponsors, approvers, and anyone following along are free. Teams pay per teammate. - A task counts as done only when someone attaches proof (a doc, PR, demo, or decision). - The sponsor sees only what the team shares. Assistants act as the person who connected them, and every change is recorded in the project's history. - AI assistants (Codex, Claude Code, Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor) connect through the MCP server at https://unblockd.ai/mcp with OAuth sign-in, on the customer's own model account. ## Pricing - Free: $0 forever. For one project that needs to get moving. - Team: $15 per team member / month. For teams running several projects at once. - Business: Talk to us, priced per customer. For teams that want only their own name on what they share, or need a security review. - Team includes a 14-day free trial. ## Pages - [Home](https://unblockd.ai): what Unblockd does and who it is for - [Pricing](https://unblockd.ai/pricing): plans, the plan comparison, and billing questions - [Demo](https://unblockd.ai/demo): the two-minute product demo, and a narrated walkthrough of the same flow - [AI](https://unblockd.ai/ai): working with AI in Unblockd: built-in AI on Team and Business, your own assistant through the MCP server, what an assistant can and can't do, and setup - [Integrations](https://unblockd.ai/integrations): the read-only connectors to the tools a team already uses; Teamwork.com is available on request; the page has a form to request any tool that isn't listed - [Security](https://unblockd.ai/security): data handling, access, and the sponsor's links - [Compare](https://unblockd.ai/compare): how Unblockd differs from other project tools - [Partners](https://unblockd.ai/partners): programs for agencies and consultants - [Brand](https://unblockd.ai/brand): the press kit, with logos as SVG and PNG, brand colors, product screenshots, and descriptions to paste - [Use cases](https://unblockd.ai/use-cases): what teams use Unblockd for - [Guides](https://unblockd.ai/guides): practical guides for project leads - [Status report tool](https://unblockd.ai/guides/tools/status-report): create a project status report - [Guide article index](https://unblockd.ai/guides/llms.txt): the growth system’s published articles - [Help center](https://unblockd.ai/help): getting started, sponsor pages, connecting an AI assistant, and a setup guide for every connector - [Best tools](https://unblockd.ai/best): honest roundups of tools for working with sponsors, with sourced prices ## Use cases - [Client collaboration](https://unblockd.ai/use-cases/client-collaboration): A shared project view where your team keeps clients informed and brings their responses back to the work. - [Stakeholder approvals](https://unblockd.ai/use-cases/stakeholder-approvals): One question with options and a date, answered in a tap from the sponsor’s inbox. - [Stakeholder and executive updates](https://unblockd.ai/use-cases/stakeholder-updates): A short update drafted from what changed, approved by you before it goes. - [Stakeholder portal for project status](https://unblockd.ai/use-cases/stakeholder-portal): One private page per project, built from the work, opened from an email link. - [Unblocking stalled projects](https://unblockd.ai/use-cases/stalled-projects): Every wait on a sponsor or exec in one list, with its age and a one-tap follow-up. - [Deliverable sign-off with proof](https://unblockd.ai/use-cases/deliverable-sign-off): Done means proof attached, and acceptance is on record with who and when. - [AI project updates through MCP](https://unblockd.ai/use-cases/ai-project-updates): Your own assistant works in the project through MCP; a person sends what the sponsor sees. ## Guides - [How to speed up the stakeholder approval process](https://unblockd.ai/guides/stakeholder-approval-process): Faster stakeholder approvals come from asking one specific question: options, a recommendation, a date, and the cost of waiting.
