What does “Preview” mean?
Some areas of the service are indicated as being in “Preview” and can be used at no additional charge. This helps us gather useful feedback while these areas are under development.
How will build be charged?
Build is in preview and there is no charge to use build currently. In the future, a limited amount of monthly build services will be included in the Free Plan, but customers will be able to generate additional builds for an added charge. This page will be updated as we have more information to share about pricing.
What happens if I want to stop using the service?
Our hope is that you will continue to use the service, but if you choose to leave you can export your source code and close your account. For more information, take a look at our service FAQ.
