Product Support Plans

Keep your product stable, healthy, and operational after launch.

Support plans are not for building new features. They exist to keep your product running — handling incidents, resolving bugs, maintaining infrastructure, and ensuring stability as your user base grows. Plan size is determined by infrastructure complexity, not by hours or headcount.

What support is

Support is not a lighter version of development.

Support plans do NOT include

New features or functionality

UX or flow changes

Refactors or architectural changes

Roadmap execution or backlog work

Functional changes of any kind

If you need changes, use:

R

Product Increment — for a specific, scoped change

R

Product Pod — for continuous product evolution

Support keeps your product running. Increments change it. Pods evolve it.

How plan size is determined

Plan size is based on infrastructure complexity — not on the number of users, the age of the product, or the size of your team.

The right plan is the one that matches what you have in production today.

Severity

Critical 

High 

Normal

Definition

The platform is completely offline or unusable for all users. Fastest response guaranteed.

A core feature is broken or significantly impacted for a subset of users or use cases.

A non-critical bug that does not impact primary operations. Addressed in routine maintenance.

Example

App returns 500 for all users. Payment processing completely down.

Login fails for users on mobile. Checkout works but order confirmation emails are not sending.

Minor UI misalignment. Non-blocking error in an edge-case flow.

Response time is the time to acknowledge the incident and begin investigation — not the guaranteed resolution time. Resolution time depends on the complexity of the issue.

When support is not enough

If any of the following are true, a support plan is the wrong product.

You need a different product if:

  • You need changes to existing flows or features
  • You are asking to 'add something small' regularly
  • You have a roadmap that needs execution
  • Incidents are caused by missing features, not bugs
  • You need priority delivery on an ongoing basis

What to use instead:

Product Increment: For a specific, scoped change with a defined deliverable.

Product Pod: For continuous product evolution, roadmap execution, and priority delivery.

FAQ

Can I upgrade from Core to Pro later?

Yes. If your infrastructure grows beyond the Core limits — more APIs, additional apps, or new environments — you can upgrade to Pro. The transition is evaluated based on what is in production at that point.

What happens if I use all my bug fix hours before the month ends?

We will notify you when you are approaching the limit. Additional hours are available at a fixed rate, or you can consider upgrading your plan for the following month.

Can I use support hours for small improvements?

No. Bug fix hours are reserved for incident resolution and technical corrections. Any functional change — however small — requires a Product Increment or Product Pod.

What does 'yearly commitment' mean?

Support plans are annual agreements. This allows us to maintain a dedicated team with the context of your product, respond faster to incidents, and provide consistent coverage. Monthly options are not available.

What is the difference between a support plan and a Product Pod?

A support plan keeps your product stable. A Product Pod evolves it. If your product is changing frequently, a Pod is the correct product — not a support plan.

Not sure which plan fits your infrastructure?

We'll evaluate your product and recommend the right plan — or tell you if a Pod makes more sense.
