Pricing questions, answered.
- What's the difference between Indie and Studio?
- Indie is for solo developers: one seat, every feature, $19/month. Studio is for teams: $39 per active user per month, adding team roles, per-member app access scoping, and multiple workspaces. Both are fully self-hosted and include both stores, the build/deploy pipeline, ASO intelligence, and unlimited apps.
- How does per-seat pricing work on Studio?
- Studio is billed at $39 per active user per month through Polar. A seat is counted per distinct active user across your instance, so you only pay for the people actually using Release Flight. Add or remove seats from the Polar customer portal as your team changes.
- Do I need a license to use Release Flight?
- Yes — Release Flight needs an active license to run; there is no usable unlicensed mode. When you subscribe through Polar we email your license key instantly, then you download the macOS app and activate it. One key unlocks every install on your team.
- Where is my data stored, and what does the license check?
- All of your data, builds, and encrypted store credentials live on your own infrastructure — Release Flight is fully self-hosted. The license check only verifies your active seat count; it does not transmit your app data, source code, or store credentials.
- Can I cancel or change plans anytime?
- Yes. Subscriptions are managed through Polar's customer portal, where you can change your seat count, switch plans, or cancel at any time. Self-hosting means your data stays with you regardless of subscription state.
