Fast refresh for $0

Fast refresh for $0

faster refresh has been a top feature request since Day 1.

because we don't require a subscription, we have to be careful with infrastructure costs. this ensures your devices can use our cloud service forever without paying a penny.

so we drew a line in the sand: a max speed of 15 minutes per plugin. and for most of you this is fine. unless of course you need transit times and meeting room availability... more on this in an upcoming announcement.

anyway, the current fast refresh solution is TRMNL+, a $5 /month subscription launched exactly one year ago. but let's face it, nobody wants to subscribe to anything, ever.

which is why today i'm thrilled to offer a new approach.

introducing TRMNL+ for $0

note i didn't say "free." it's not free. just instead of spending your hard earned cash, how about a little bit of social capital instead?

in exchange for sharing honest feedback, publicly, you can unlock 5 minute refresh rates forever.

get started here:

and yes, the $5 /month option is still available.

how it works

  1. share TRMNL
  2. our team confirms
  3. TRMNL+ is activated on your account

no payment method is necessary, you'll never be auto billed, and we can optionally send you a reminder to participate again in the future when your credit expires.

everyone has influence

we don't advertise on Google or Facebook or TikTok or anything like that. sometimes we gift devices to creators, but mostly we exist thanks to word of mouth.

if this deal isn't your jam, no sweat. if we never earn another referral we'll open source our platform. but i hope you'll help us hack on it together for a long, long time to come.

consider sharing TRMNL today.
