Springloops offers two kinds of paid plans: Personal, with 3-6[[Gigabyte|GB]] of [[disk space]] and 10-25 [[Repository (revision control)|repositories]], and Business, with 12-60GB of space and 50 to unlimited repositories and a range of extra features. The service also provides a free plan for teachers available upon direct request via email (presumably with no limits on the account), as well as a free plan with 1 repository and 100MB of space. All plans start with a 14-day free trial.
Springloops launched in late 2006 as an SVN version control and deploy and was gradually growing into a full-scale [[project management application]]. v2.0 was released in June 2009<ref>{{cite web|last1=Szczepankowski|first1=Szymon|title=Springloops 2.0 launched!|url=http://84kids.com/springloops-2-0-launched|website=84kids.com|accessdate=15 July 2014|date=29 April 2009}}</ref> with new interface and features: [[Task (project management)|tasks]], [[time tracking software|time tracking]], [[wiki]] module and [[Git (software)|Git]] support. On May 5, 2013, the service was [[Upgrade|upgraded]] to v3.0<ref>{{cite web|last1=Kuś|first1=Aleksander|title=It's official: Springloops v3.0 is up and running!|url=http://84kids.com/its-official-springloops-v3-0-is-up-and-running/|website=84kids.com|accessdate=15 July 2014|date=06 May 2013}}</ref> and received a heavy graphical overhaul. The core features were extracted into four separate apps (probably for [[marketing]] reasons): BamBam! (tasks), Chime (time tracking), Anchor (wiki) and Springloops which retained its original allocation of source & deploy tool. The apps can be used separately or integrated within one account, depending on user needs and profile.

The software’s account settings also mention Turbine, described “discussions and note-taking for teams.” It’s been greyed out and labeled “Coming soon” since the division, however.
The v3.0 upgrade spawned a wide range of reactions, especially due to drastic changes in [[User interface|UI]] and [[User experience|UX]]. In September 2013 the company released a major update which was a direct response to the feedback from users. The team wrote:

''If we were to describe the changes in one word, it would be usability. We collected all feedback we’ve received from you since the redesign in May, analyzed it and introduced tons of UI improvements all around the system. It looks better, works better and certainly feels better to work with.''<ref>{{cite web|last1=Kuś|first1=Aleksander|title=What's new in the September upgrade?|url=http://84kids.com/whats-new-in-the-september-upgrade/|website=84kids.com|accessdate=14 July 2014|date=10 September 2013}}</ref>
Pre-v3.0 iterations of Springloops allowed integration with [[Basecamp Classic]] project management software. The current version does not allow any [[Third-party software component|third-parties]] in favor of the other apps by 84kids that altogether form one integrated [[Project management software|project management platform]] for web and software developers.
