Applying for a pro-bono plan or feature
| Dimagi offers pro-bono software plans or features on a need-only basis. Pro bono applications are usually granted to small organizations who want to do a small or pilot project and who have thoroughly considered their feature needs. You can apply for a pro-bono plan by filling out this application. Please remember: Our Community software plan is completely free, supports up to 10 mobile users, and gives you access to all basic CommCare features. | ||||||
Applying for a developer plan | Developer accounts will be offered pro-bono to developers looking to write tools that integrate with CommCare. To make a developer account request, please email information@dimagi.com. | ||||||

Ending a subscription | Monthly Billing: All monthly subscriptions require a minimum 30 day commitment. You can end a subscription at any time after the first 30 days by following the process described in Upgrading or downgrading to another software plan and choosing the Community plan. The Community plan is free up to 10 users. If you have more than 10 users, you will be billed $2 per user over 10. You can either pre-pay for these additional users, or you can post-pay when you receive an invoice on the first of the month. If you have more than 10 users but don't want to get charged, we recommend that you identify inactive users and either archive or delete them. Read here carefully about the difference between archiving and deleting and learn how to do it (FAQ D/). Annual Billing:

API access: Is the CommCcare-Export tool considered use of API Access for the purposes of software plan/billing? | No, the CommCare-Export tool accesses all records via the API, but is intended to be available to all plans. | ||||||
Dimagi support: How does my software plan affect the level of support I get from Dimagi?
| Unless you have a services agreement, your software plan determines the level of support you receive from Dimagi. 1. Community & Standard - use our regular support channels (the "Report an Issue" button and the CommCare-users group) to get general support. Standard plan users have access to more direct email support follow-up. 2. Pro - In addition to general support, you can ask support questions specific to your project's application and content. You will not have a specific Dimagi point of contact. 3. Advanced - In addition to our regular support channel you will have a point person from Dimagi person for app/content support specific to your project. | ||||||

| ||||||
HIPAA security: What is the difference between HIPAA security at each level? | Our standard, Pro and Advanced plans currently adhere to the same security standards from a technology standpoint. The key difference is whether Dimagi is willing to assume liability and sign a "Business Associates Agreement" (BAA), which we offer with Advanced and Enterprise plans. If you're unsure what your organization may need in order to adhere to institutional data privacy and security, please contact us. | ||||||
Custom reports: What are the custom reports that are offered in the Pro, Advanced, and Enterprise software plans? |
| ||||||
What happens if my project subscription ends and gets downgraded to the Community software plan? | Your project will lose the features associated with the previous software plan, (e.g. if you were using an SMS reminder functionality as part of your workflow, this will get disabled), however all of your data will remain accessible. |

Credits: Am I losing my credits when my subscription ends? | No, the credits you load onto your subscription as pre-payment don’t expire.
