Planleave Revenue (2022)

Planleave reported approximately $1,200 in monthly revenue at the time of the October 2022 interview, derived from three paying customers. The company had been publicly launched for only three weeks at that point, and Geisel characterized the business as in its earliest commercial stage.

Planleave had three paying customers at the time of the October 2022 interview. One of those customers, Cameo, is based in Spain and has 40 employees. A second customer was acquired in Ohio through Geisel's personal network. The third customer was also brought in by Jose Manuel prior to the acquisition.

Planleave charges $1.99 per employee per month, with a minimum account size of 30 employees. At that floor, the annual contract value is approximately $720. Geisel cited a 5x return on investment for a 30-employee company using Planleave and a 7x return on investment for a 50-employee company. A free trial is available, but there was no existing waitlist at the time of the interview. Pricing for larger accounts was not separately discussed.

Planleave operates on a per-employee, per-month subscription model priced at $1.99 per seat, with a minimum of 30 employees per account. The company targets small to mid-market businesses that want to move off spreadsheets for leave tracking. Geisel positioned the product as significantly more economical than HRMS platforms, which he said charge six to seven dollars per employee or more.

Geisel referenced a competitor in the leave management space with revenue per employee exceeding $800,000, which he cited as evidence of attractive unit economics in the category. He was careful to note this figure applied to that unnamed competitor, not to Planleave itself. Planleave's own revenue per employee was not calculable at the time of the interview given the early stage of the business.

Gross margin, churn, LTV, CAC, burn rate, and runway were not discussed in the interview. Profitability was not discussed. The company is bootstrapped and Geisel indicated he is investing actively in SEO and paid Capterra placement as the primary near-term growth channels, supplemented by direct outreach through his professional network and LinkedIn campaign tooling.

Planleave operates with a team of two people as of October 2022: Andrew Geisel, who handles sales, marketing, and business development, and CTO Jose Manuel, who is responsible for all technical development. No additional hires were discussed in the interview.
