Starter vs Launch Plan
If you’re an existing Launch subscriber, you can stay on your existing plan indefinitely, or upgrade to Pro for a limited-time discount, as long as you upgrade before October 1, 2025. While the Starter plan is a great way to evaluate and get started, the Launch plan has several advantages, including:- 3x CPU capacity
- 3x Workspaces
- Dedicated enterprise-grade infrastructure
- SOC 2 compliance
- Access to Xano Link (via add-on)
Pro vs Scale Plan (for Scale 1x users)
If you’re on Scale 1x today, you can stay on your current plan or switch now to the new Pro Plan for no additional cost with our limited launch promotion discounts. The Pro Plan includes everything you have now, plus formerly paid add-ons at no extra charge:- Database Connector (included)
- Xano Link (included)
- Same storage, bandwidth, and feature limits
- Full compliance coverage (SOC2, GDPR, RBAC)
Pro vs Scale Plan (for Scale 2x and above)
If you’re on Scale 2x or higher, you’re already getting more performance than the Pro Plan offers by default. Pro is priced at $249/month and includes some previously paid add-ons, but your current Scale tier provides greater compute and built-in scaling:- Auto-scaling included
- Same resource limits (storage, bandwidth, tasks)
- Full compliance features
- Database Connector and Xano Link (included in Pro, add-ons in Scale)
General Migration Questions
Q: What’s happening to my current Launch or Scale plan?
A: We’re introducing new Starter and Pro plans with enhanced features and better value. At this time, Launch and Scale users can remain on their current plans, and we have no intention to deprecate or force a switch anytime soon.Q: Do I need to migrate immediately?
A: No, you don’t need to migrate right away. Existing Launch and Scale users will continue to receive service on their current plans.Q: Are there any promotions or benefits available to current users?
A: Existing Launch and Scale users who have subscribed prior to July 1, 2025 should have received an exclusive discount via email. If you qualify and did not receive this, please reach out to our support team. Q: What happens to any promos or offers I currently have applied to my account if I switch plans? A: Promotions do not stack, so you can choose to retain your current promotion, or change plans.For Current Launch Plan Users
Q: Should I switch to the new Starter plan?
A: Existing Launch plan users have received upgrades to include what is offered in Starter, plus all of the great benefits you’re already used to on your Launch plan. There is no advantage in moving from Launch to Starter at this time, unless you desire a lower-cost plan with fewer resources.Q: What am I giving up by moving to Starter?
A: The main trade-offs are:- Reduced CPU allocation (1 CPU vs 3 CPU) - but with dedicated infrastructure
- Fewer workspaces (1 vs 3) - additional workspaces available for $29/month each
- Loss of ISO 27001/SOC2 compliance - available in Pro plan
Q: What if I need more than 1 workspace?
A: You can add additional workspaces to your Starter plan for $29/month each, or consider upgrading to our Pro plan which includes 5 workspaces and additional enterprise features.Q: Will the reduced CPU affect my application performance?
A: While you’ll have fewer CPU cores, the Starter plan provides dedicated infrastructure which often results in more consistent performance. If you need more processing power, you can add the CPU Boost for $70/month (2 CPU total) or upgrade to Pro plan.For Current Scale Plan Users
Q: Which new plan should I choose?
A: Existing Scale plan users have received upgrades to include what is offered in Pro, plus all of the great benefits you’re already used to on your Scale plan. The only advantage to the Pro plan over your current Scale plan is the inclusion of the Database Connector and Xano Link.Q: What happens to auto-scaling?
A: Auto-scaling is not included in the base Pro plan, but it’s available as the Pro + Autoscale Boost add-on for $180/month. This gives you the same auto-scaling capabilities you have today plus additional CPU resources (8.5 CPU vs current Scale).Q: Is the Pro plan worth the potential price difference?
A: Consider that the Pro plan includes features that were previously paid add-ons:- Database Connector (previously extra cost)
- Xano Link (previously extra cost)
Feature-Specific Questions
Q: I rely heavily on auto-scaling. What are my options?
A: If auto-scaling is critical to your application:- Pro + Autoscale Boost ($180/month add-on) gives you enhanced auto-scaling with more CPU
- Custom (Enterprise) plan for larger-scale auto-scaling needs
- Contact our team to discuss custom scaling solutions
Q: I need ISO 27001/SOC2 compliance. What should I do?
A: ISO 27001 and SOC2 compliance are available in our Pro plan and above. If you’re currently on Launch and need compliance, we recommend upgrading to Pro rather than Starter.Q: What about my current add-ons?
A:- Database Connector is now included in Pro plans
- Xano Link is now included in Pro plans
- Background Tasks limits are increased in both new plans
- Other add-ons will continue to be available or have been integrated into the base plans
Q: I have multiple workspaces on my Launch plan. How does this work?
A:- Starter plan includes 1 workspace, additional workspaces are $29/month each
- Pro plan includes 5 workspaces
- If you currently have 3 workspaces on Launch, Pro plan might be more cost-effective
