How much does CrankWheel cost?
The real price of the no-download screen sharing tool, plan by plan.
Short answer: CrankWheel has a free plan (15 meetings a month, 3 viewers), then a Solo plan at $29/month, which drops to roughly $15.08/month billed annually thanks to a 48% discount. The trial is free and needs no credit card. But Solo is capped at one user, so the moment you have more than one rep you move to the Team plan from $99/month.

CrankWheel, the free tier is heavily capped
The free plan looks generous but is not. With 15 meetings a month and 3 viewers, it is built to test, not to sell every day. Here is what really drives the bill up.
The free plan, for testing only
15 meetings a month, 3 viewers max, recording retention capped at one week and no branding. A rep running back-to-back demos hits the ceiling within days. Free is fine to kick the tires, not for steady professional use.
Solo, the real single-rep plan
At $29/month (or ~$15.08 annually) you unlock unlimited meetings, 30 viewers, branding and 6-month retention. This is the plan that makes the tool usable day to day, but it stays limited to a single user.
Team, from the second rep
Solo cannot be shared. The moment two people run demos, you move to the Team plan from $99/month (Team 100) with a shared meeting pool. More volume, more viewers, but a sharp jump in price versus Solo.
Volume and Enterprise
Team stacks in tiers, from Team 100 ($99) to Team 2000 ($1,562/month). Above that, custom-quote Enterprise adds SSO, an SLA and concierge onboarding. Busy User plans offer up to 40% off for very heavy users.
- Just testing? The free plan covers a handful of demos.
- Selling solo every day? Solo is the minimum viable plan.
- More than one rep? Team is mandatory, no way around it.
- Paying yearly? Solo drops to ~$15/month (-48%).
- High demo volume? Look at Busy User plans and Team tiers.
How we price the real cost
CrankWheel's headline price does not tell you what you actually pay, because everything hinges on how many reps you have. Solo is a single-user plan; the moment you have several people you move to Team, whose price follows meeting volume. Here is our basis for calculation, billed annually where possible.

CrankWheel's price against the alternatives
CrankWheel targets one precise job: live demos with no download on the prospect's side, ideal for selling over the phone. Here is its entry price next to Loom and Zoom, which solve different problems.
Entry prices pulled in June 2026. Different use cases.
CrankWheel
Live demo, no install
- Free plan: 15 meetings/month
- Instant screen sharing, nothing to install
- Built for selling over the phone
Loom
Async video
- Limited free plan
- Video recording, no live demo
- Billed per user
Zoom
General video calls
- Free plan (40-min meetings)
- Full video calls, but guest install
- Billed per user
Entry prices pulled in June 2026 from official pages. CrankWheel is not a direct rival to Loom (async video) or Zoom (general video calls): its strength is instant screen sharing with no download or account on the prospect's side, perfect for an off-the-cuff demo over the phone. Comparing on price alone has limits.
So, is CrankWheel expensive?
Our take after testing it: for a single rep, it is very affordable. The real issue is the jump between Solo and Team. Here is when it is worth it, and when it stings.
Good value if…
You sell solo and run lots of off-the-cuff demos over the phone. At ~$15/month annually, with unlimited meetings and nothing to install on the prospect's side, CrankWheel saves a ton of time versus setting up a Zoom call. The ratio is excellent for individual use.
Too expensive if…
You are a small team with light usage. Solo cannot be shared, so two reps force you onto Team at $99/month even if you run few demos. The jump from $29 (one user) to $99 (a team) is steep, and the free plan is too capped to act as a safety net.
The verdict
CrankWheel is hard to beat for a single rep sharing their screen all day. For a team, do the Team-tier math before committing, and pay yearly to claim the 48% off on Solo. Use the 30-day refund window to validate the workflow.
- Pay Solo yearly: roughly 48% saved.
- Stay on the free plan while you are only testing.
- A team? Price out the Team tier before committing.
- High volume? Ask about Busy User plans (up to -40%).
- Use the 30-day refund window to validate the tool.
Frequently asked questions about CrankWheel pricing
How much does CrankWheel cost per month?
CrankWheel has a free plan (15 meetings a month, 3 viewers), then a Solo plan at $29/month for a single rep, or about $15.08/month billed annually thanks to a 48% discount. The moment you have more than one rep, you move to the Team plan from $99/month (Team 100), with unlimited users and a pool of 100 shared meetings. Team tiers climb to $1,562/month (Team 2000), and Enterprise is custom-quoted. The smart move is to start on Solo if you are alone and only step up to Team once the team grows.Does CrankWheel have a free plan?
Yes, but it is deliberately capped. CrankWheel's free plan allows 15 meetings a month, 3 viewers per meeting, recording retention limited to one week and no custom branding. It activates automatically after the trial or after a subscription is cancelled, and needs no credit card. It is enough to test the tool or for very occasional use, but a rep running back-to-back demos hits the ceiling within days and has to move to the Solo plan.How much does CrankWheel cost billed annually?
The Solo plan gets a 48% discount when billed annually, which brings its effective cost down to roughly $15.08/month instead of $29/month monthly, or around $181 for the year. This is the main way to pay less for CrankWheel when you are a single rep. The Team plan applies its own volume discounts depending on the tier you pick. Always check the exact price on the official page when you buy, as the discount percentage and tiers can change.What is the price difference between Solo and Team?
The Solo plan costs $29/month (about $15 annually) but only covers a single user. The Team plan starts at $99/month (Team 100) and unlocks unlimited users with a pool of 100 shared meetings a month. The jump is steep: the moment you have a second rep, you cannot stack two Solo plans, you must move to Team. For a small team running few demos, that is the friction point in the pricing, because you pay $99 even with light usage.How much does CrankWheel cost for a team?
For a small team, budget $99/month on the Team 100 plan, which gives unlimited users and a pool of 100 shared meetings. If your team runs lots of demos, higher tiers climb to $1,562/month (Team 2000). Very heavy users can tap Busy User plans with up to 40% off. Beyond that, the custom-quote Enterprise plan adds corporate SSO, a custom SLA and concierge onboarding. The Team price follows meeting volume, not the number of seats.Is there a free trial on CrankWheel?
Yes. CrankWheel offers a free trial with full access to the Solo plan, and no credit card is required to start. So you can test unlimited meetings, the 30 viewers and branding before paying. When the trial expires, the account drops automatically onto the limited free plan. CrankWheel also adds a 30-day refund guarantee on your first subscription payment: if you upgrade from the trial and change your mind within the month, you are refunded with no questions asked.Can you get a refund on CrankWheel?
Yes. CrankWheel offers a full 30-day refund guarantee on the first subscription payment, no questions asked. In practice, if you upgrade from the trial and the tool does not fit within 30 days, you get your money back. It is a comfortable safety net to confirm that screen sharing works well with your prospects and your sales process before committing for the long run. Make a point of testing it on several real sales calls during that window.Is CrankWheel more expensive than Loom or Zoom?
It depends on the use case, because the three do not do the same thing. Loom (around $12.50/user/month annually) is for async video recording, not live demos. Zoom (around $13.33/user/month on Pro) handles general video calls, but often requires an install on the guest's side. CrankWheel, at ~$15/month on Solo annual, sits in the same range but answers a precise need: sharing your screen instantly, with no download or account on the prospect's side. So comparing on price alone has limits.Why is CrankWheel's free plan so limited?
The free plan is built as a showcase, not a work tool. With only 15 meetings a month, 3 viewers, one week of recording retention and no branding, it is there to explore the interface and confirm that screen sharing works with your prospects. The moment you sell regularly, those limits bite fast, which logically pushes toward the Solo plan. It is a classic freemium strategy: useful to try, insufficient for daily professional use.How can you pay less for CrankWheel?
The best lever is annual billing on the Solo plan, which applies 48% off and brings the cost down to about $15.08/month. If you are a heavy user, ask about Busy User plans that offer up to 40% off. For a team, pick the Team tier closest to your real meeting volume so you do not overpay. Stay on the free plan while you are testing, and use the 30-day refund guarantee to validate the tool before committing for the long run.
