Service-Level Agreement (SLA) — uptime & support commitments

What we commit to on uptime, performance, support response, and what happens when we fall short.

4 min read

Uptime SLA

  • Starter — 99.5% monthly uptime (no SLA credits)
  • Professional — 99.9% monthly uptime
  • Enterprise — 99.95% monthly uptime

What "uptime" measures

Uptime is measured by external monitoring of three core services: the editorial app, the public reader app, and the API. Scheduled maintenance windows (announced 7+ days in advance) are excluded.

SLA credits

If we miss the SLA in a given month, you receive a credit on your next invoice:

  • Below SLA but ≥99.0% — 10% credit
  • 95.0% – 98.9% — 25% credit
  • Below 95.0% — 50% credit

Performance commitments

  • API p95 latency under 300ms (excluding intentional long-running operations)
  • Page load p95 under 2.5s on broadband
  • Search response p95 under 1s

How to claim a credit

Email [email protected] within 30 days of the affected month. We confirm based on our internal monitoring + your external monitoring data if you have any. Credits are applied to the next invoice.

Live status and historical uptime are public. SLA credits are awarded automatically for Enterprise customers — no claim required.
