Does Pro affect ranking?
No, never. Ranking is always sorted by community upvotes and hotness score. Maker and Studio give you better distribution and presentation tools, but your rank is 100% merit-based.
What is Launch Week?
Every new app gets a dedicated 7-day launch window when first approved. It surfaces in the Launching tab — the highest-intent discovery surface for early adopters. Free and paid makers both get it automatically.
Can I relaunch after a major update?
Yes — Maker gets 1 Relaunch per app per year, Studio gets 2. A Relaunch starts a new 7-day Launch Week and requires a changelog entry explaining what's new. Available from your app dashboard.
What are Community Picks?
A fully algorithmic weekly rotation — 6 apps selected every Monday based on vibe score, tester ratings, and community engagement. No manual curation, no pay-to-feature. Every approved app is eligible.
What happens if I downgrade?
You keep your current tier until the end of your billing period. On Studio, excess apps beyond your limit go into archived state — hidden from feeds but never deleted. You can reactivate by upgrading again.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes, cancel anytime from your account. You keep Maker or Studio until the end of the billing period.
