Common Questions

Questions

Can I upgrade or downgrade?

Yes. You can change tiers at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades take effect at the next billing cycle.

What happens if I exceed my daily limit?

On Gratias, requests beyond 1,000/day return a 429 response. On Scholastica and Aedificator, limits are high enough that most applications will never encounter them.

Is there a free trial for paid tiers?

During alpha, all features are available free. When paid tiers launch, Scholastica will include a 14-day trial.

What is a Communio tenant?

The Communio engine powers the intercessory prayer network. Tenant access is required to register an application and write to the network. It is included in Aedificator, and available by request for other tiers.

Do you offer nonprofit or ministry discounts?

Yes. Reach out to dev@torchandlily.com with a brief description of your ministry or project. We will work something out.
