Capterra still lists Kadence Standard at $4 per active user a month (September 2026). That figure predates the vendor's move to quotes.

How Deskdragon prices instead

One flat monthly price per plan. Standard is $49 a month for up to 50 desks and 100 users, Plus is $79 for up to 120 desks and 200 users, and Premium is $299 for up to 300 desks and 500 users. Nothing is priced per user, floor plans are unlimited and drawn for you, and you can pay monthly or yearly. Every plan starts with 14 days free, no card, and any charge is refunded within 14 days.

At the $4 per active user rate that review sites still list, 100 active users is $400 a month plus $250 per floor plan. Deskdragon Plus is $79 a month for up to 200 users and 120 desks, with the floor plans drawn for free.
