Support Available to All CommCare Users

Regardless of your support tier, all CommCare users have access to a core set of support.

  • Free Learning Resources: All CommCare users have access to a core set of free learning resources. This includes access to the CommCare Help Site and the CommCare Forum. We highly encourage you to first check out these resources in answering your CommCare problems, including posting on the CommCare Forum.

  • Submitting Tickets: In addition, all users are able to submit support tickets through the different ways listed here: Requesting Support . The speed and certainty of response will be determined by a combination of your SLA as well as the type of issue raised. As an example, anyone can report a bug or issue in CommCare that they come across, regardless of their software plan.

Support Available to Users on Paid Software Plans

In addition to free resources that are available to all customers, customers on certain software plans will receive access to additional types of support. This includes the response rate from the CommCare support team and the priority in which your tickets are solved.

Your software plan dictates the kind of response we guarantee, but we try to look at all support requests regardless of plan. We want to make your CommCare experience a success!

I think something in CommCare is broken.

If you think something in CommCare is broken, we encourage you to log a bug, so our support team can investigate the issue. We want CommCare to work for everyone, so we look into every bug that gets reported. 

You can log a bug by Reporting an Issue in CommCare HQ. Guidelines for logging a clear bug (which help us investigate the issue more quickly) can be found on Submitting Support Tickets.
