Runbear: Slack AI agents, $28K a month, self-reported in 2024, no per-seat billing
Runbear sells AI agents that automate team workflows across Slack, Teams, Discord, and connected tools. Its $28K a month was founder-reported on the Indie Hackers product page (not independently verified), as of September 2024.
What it actually sells
Runbear sells AI agents for ops teams, customer success, and RevOps that automate Slack inboxes and connect to 2,000+ tools. Customers can ask questions, assign tasks, or automate workflows through those integrations without leaving Slack.
Its support agent reads support documents and past tickets, drafts answers in the same Slack thread, and tags a human when it is not sure. Shared agents in Slack support per-user authentication and a team’s voice.
How it charges
Team is $99/mo for teams collaborating on AI agents, with Slack and Teams channels, shared agents, per-user authentication, and credits covering months of everyday work. Business is $399/mo for companies deploying AI agents across teams. One subscription covers every teammate who uses agents without per-seat billing.
Where customers come from
The site presents a free starting point, a full MCP quickstart, and connections to 2,000+ tools. It also demonstrates Runbear posting and editing workflow drafts on Reddit, including an incident draft posted in a customer-success channel.
What stands out
One subscription covers every teammate who uses agents, with no per-seat billing. In coding assistants, Runbear drafts the trigger, app connections, and output; the customer reviews it before it runs for the team.

Where it sits in the data
Runbear's $28K a month is higher than 78% of the 6,604 projects with founder-reported monthly revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $2K. Snapshot: 2026-09-30. The dataset only covers founders who chose to publish their numbers, so it leans toward businesses that work; use it for scale, not as an average.
Currency
All figures are in US dollars as published. A rough yuan or euro conversion is not applied here because prices, taxes and acquisition costs differ by country.
Could you build something like this?
In my view, demand would come from teams that already use chat tools and want agents to handle questions, tasks, and support workflows. The buyer is the team operating those workflows, while distribution would need to reach operations, customer success, revenue operations, sales, marketing, and HR teams.
My view is that this needs real work. Integrations, permissions, authentication, context from connected tools, and reliable execution across Slack and Teams are difficult product and infrastructure problems. Competition would include other workflow automation and AI-agent products, while support load would depend on maintaining integrations and helping teams configure agents.
Verdict: Needs real work.
One thing to take from it
Runbear combines team pricing with coverage for every teammate who uses agents, without per-seat billing. Its product also supports shared agents with per-user authentication, workflow automation through 2,000+ integrations, and human escalation when an agent is uncertain.
