FAQ
Is it genuinely free?
Absolutely. DevActivity offers a Freemium model with a free tier that includes many features. If you need extended functionality, you can upgrade to Premium.
Will you access my source code?
No, we only collect non-sensitive Git metadata (e.g., commit timestamps, pull request counts, author information) and do not access your source code.
What kind of data do you collect from GitHub?
We gather Git metadata including the type of activity (commits, pull requests, code reviews, issues, comments), timestamps, and author information. This is sufficient for all metrics, alerts, and gamification features.
Do you support other platforms (GitLab, Bitbucket, etc.)?
Currently we are focused on GitHub. Expanding to other Git platforms is on our roadmap. You can vote for your preferred platform in our GitHub Discussions.
Who qualifies as an Active Contributor?
Any individual actively engaged in making commits, pull requests (PRs), or reviews within the repository, or managing the team.
What should I do if I exceed the limit of 7 Contributors on the Free Plan?
If you exceed the limit, the extra contributors will be disabled. To continue using the service, you need to upgrade to the Premium plan or disable some contributors to stay within the limit.
How do I upgrade, downgrade, or cancel a subscription?
You can manage your subscription from the billing section of your Google Workspace Org account.
Can I get a discount?
We are working on annual billing plans with up to 20% discount. We can also extend the Premium trial upon request.
