Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between self-hosted and managed?

Self-hosted means you deploy and operate the WebSocket server yourself (Railway, Cloudflare, or your own infra). Managed means we run it for you — just create an app in the console and connect your client SDK.

Is the client SDK free?

Yes. The @summoniq/summon-flow client SDK is MIT licensed and free to use regardless of whether you self-host or use the managed platform.

How do I upgrade from Hobby to Pro?

Go to Settings → Billing in the console and click "Upgrade to Pro". You'll be redirected to Stripe Checkout. Your subscription is active immediately.

Can I switch from managed to self-hosted later?

Yes. The same client SDK works with both. Point your wsHost at your own server instead of the managed endpoint, set up your auth route, and you're done.

What happens if I hit the 10 app limit on Pro?

You'll need to delete an existing app or contact us about an Enterprise plan for higher limits.

Do you store message payloads?

No. SummonFlow relays messages in real time. We don't persist event payloads. For encrypted channels, we never see the plaintext at all.
