Common Questions

Are beta features stable enough to use?

What if a beta feature has a bug?

Report it immediately! We fix beta bugs quickly. Your dedicated account manager can escalate urgent issues.

Will beta features always be free?

During beta, yes. After graduation to production, some features may be included in your plan, others might be add-ons or higher-tier features.

Can I suggest features for beta development?

Absolutely! Share suggestions with your account manager. Popular requests often become beta features.

What happens if I don't like a beta feature?
