Asked before starting
- Is the data from a test real?
- Yes. Every app has its own database from the first build, so each tester's answers, saved basket and last step are rows you can read, filter and export.
- How fast can I change it between sessions?
- Each change is built and published to the preview address in minutes. Click the element that is wrong and describe the fix, or ask for a plan first when the change is big. Every version is kept, so you can go back to the one a tester saw.
- What does a test cost?
- A first test can run on the Free plan. A team that edits together starts at Starter ($15/month). The plans: Free $0, 30 credits a month, $5 of hosting usage once; Hobby $6/month, 40 credits a month, $5 of hosting usage a month; Starter $15/month, 100 credits a month, $10 of hosting usage a month; Pro $40/month, 250 credits a month, $20 of hosting usage a month; Business $80/month, 500 credits a month, $25 of hosting usage a month. Building spends credits; a running app spends hosting usage, and each plan includes some.
- Can engineering take the code?
- Yes. Every app is real React and TypeScript, and you can read and download the source on every plan, Free included. From Hobby ($6/month) up you can also edit the code in the built-in editor.
- Can my designer and engineer edit it too?
- Yes, from Starter ($15/month). A workspace holds the apps, and you invite editors (Starter 5, Pro 25, Business 100) and as many viewers as you like, free. Builds in a workspace are paid from that workspace's credits, so the people you invite need no plan of their own.
- What about testers' data?
- Each app has its own database. A customer sees only their own records unless you decide otherwise, table by table. You can pick where an app's database lives, keep a workspace's new apps in Europe, and take a backup whenever you want. From Hobby ($6/month), a backup is also taken every day and the last 7 are kept.
