If I subscribe to the service, what is the minimum contract term?
The minimum term is 30 days. You can cancel the subscription at any point during the term – no questions asked. Your subscription will auto-renew for another 30-day term on the first day of each month unless canceled.
For how long will an archived project be stored?
If you are using a consumer license, it will be stored for the duration of your free subscription. Note that a consumer license is limited to only one project.
If you are using a Business or Enterprise license, you can store your projects for the duration of your subscription.
Is archiving free-of-charge?
Yes, you can store as many projects as you like but activating an archived project might result in a cost if you are using a Business or an Enterprise license.
In what circumstances will activating a project result in a cost?

Users with a Business or Enterprise license have a pre-set number of active projects (e.g. five or fifty). By archiving a project, that project will no longer be counted as being active.
For example, if you have a Business license and you are managing five active projects and decide to archive one, your previous balance of five active projects will be reduced to four in the next month. This means you can add a new active project, without having to purchase additional active projects, in the next month.

By unarchiving a project (and making it active), you add one project to your balance. In case you are maxed out on eligible active projects, you will need to purchase additional active projects. The number of active projects will be calculated on the first day of each month and the balance will be valid for the entirety of that month.

Which platforms are supported?
Buildbite works on Apple and Android.
I don’t have a credit card. Can I still purchase a Business or an Enterprise license?
Unfortunately, we only support credit card payments at this moment.
