What's Changing For You

  • December 1, 2024:

    • The CMS, Starter, and legacy Business plans will no longer be available for new sign-ups. The new Mini, Personal, Business, and Business Plus plans will be available instead. If you’re on a current plan, your dashboard will show the new plan you’re scheduled to move to.

  • From April 1, 2025 onwards:

    • Automatic transition from old plan to new plan will occur sequentially at the next renewal timing for each project.

Note: Old plans that are due for renewal between December 1, 2024, and March 31, 2025, will be renewed under the old plan unless manually changed. If you choose to wait for automatic renewal after that, the automatic transition to the new plan will occur at the next renewal timing between December 1, 2025, and March 31, 2026.


Note: Some information has been updated (October 15, 2024)

  • Page limit for the Mini plan:
    2 pages → 2 pages + 404 page

  • CMS model limit for the Business Plus plan:
    20 → 30

  • Timing of automatic transition from old plans:
    April 1, 2025 → From April 1, 2025 onwards, automatic transition from old plans to new plans will occur sequentially at the next renewal timing for each project


Q&A: Important Updates to Our Plans

We've made some changes to the Q&A content published on October 1, 2024, due to some uncertainties in the information. We've added correct information and removed some uncertain details. Please review the updated content below. We'll continue to add more information as it becomes available.

Last updated: November 11, 2024

Note: Newly added content at the time of update is marked with a 🆕 icon, while partially updated information is marked with a 🆙 icon.

Plan Migration

Q. Can I manually switch to the new plan before automatic migration?

A. Yes, it's possible. After the new plans become available on December 1, 2024, you can manually switch to a new plan at any time up until your project's next renewal date.

When migrating manually, you have the option to select a plan other than the automatic migration option. Just ensure that all items, except the CMS model count and redirects, fall within the limits of the new plan.

If no manual plan switch is performed during this period, your plan will be automatically migrated to the auto-selected plan at the next renewal.


Important correction:

  • Old information (incorrect):

    You needed to adjust your project's page count and CMS model numbers to fit within the new plan limits before signing up.

  • New information (correct):

    For existing projects, you'll be able to continue using your current number of models without being restricted by the new plan limits. We'll provide more detailed specifications soon.


Additional information:

  • We have changed the description of the period during which manual plan switches are possible from "until March 31, 2025" to "during the period up to each project's next renewal timing." (Last Updated: October 16, 2024)

  • Added information on the conditions for manual migration to a plan other than the automatic migration option. (Last Updated: October 30, 2024)


Q. What qualifies as an "existing project" that won't be subject to model number restrictions?

A. The definition varies depending on your project's subscription plan:

Legacy Paid Plan

  • Projects subscribed to a legacy paid plan before December 1, 2024

  • Applies regardless of whether the site is published or not

Legacy Free Plan

  • Projects that were published before November 30, 2024, and remain published at the time of migration

These "existing projects" can continue using their current models without being affected by the new plan restrictions. While you're still on the old plan, there are no restrictions on adding models, even after we start offering new plans.If your model count exceeds the limit of your new plan when you migrate, here's what you need to know:

  • You can continue using models created before migration, regardless of the new plan's limits.

  • Even if you exceed the model limit in the new plan, you can still add new models. However, you won’t be able to publish or schedule items within that model. If you want to use the added model, please either delete other models to stay within the limit or unpublish all items in other models.

  • Even if you delete existing models, you can't add new ones until you're under the new plan's limit.


Additional Information

  • We've added information about the Legacy Free Plan. (Last updated: November 8, 2024)

  • We updated our policy on adding models when exceeding the limit as follows (Update date: October 31, 2024).

    New Policy:

    If you exceed the model limit in the new plan, you can add new models, but items within those models cannot be published or scheduled for publication. You can still edit or delete existing models.

    Previous Policy:

    If you exceeded the model limit in the new plan, you could not add further models and were only able to edit or delete existing models.


Q. How are the remaining contract period and price differences handled when migrating to a new plan while the existing plan's contract period is still valid?

A. It depends on the situation.

In case of manual switch:

  • When migrating to a new plan that is more expensive than the old plan, similar to the current plan upgrade process, a new contract will start at the time of plan migration, and additional charges will occur.

  • When migrating to a new plan that is less expensive than the old plan, similar to the current plan downgrade process, the contract will switch to the new plan at the expiration of the existing contract (automatic renewal timing). There will be no change in the contract date or refund processing.

In case of automatic migration:

  • For both upgrades and downgrades, the migration will occur at the expiration of the old plan (automatic renewal timing), and the new plan will take effect. Therefore, we kindly request that you check the destination plan on the dashboard before the automatic migration is executed.

What criteria are used to select the automatic migration destination plan?

A. Based on your project usage as of November 30, 2024, an automatic migration plan will be selected according to the criteria below. This selected plan will be displayed on your project dashboard starting December 1, 2024.

Manual Migration Before Automatic Migration

Beginning April 1, 2025, automatic migration will occur for each project at the time of its next renewal. However, you also have the option to switch plans manually before that date.

If you choose manual migration, you can select a plan other than the automatic migration option, as long as all items (except the CMS model count and redirects) fall within the limits of the new plan.

Q. When reserving a downgrade manually, do I need to make sure the CMS model count and other settings are within the new plan’s limits in advance?

A. You can reserve a downgrade even if your current usage exceeds the limits of the downgraded plan. However, if the downgrade takes place while usage remains above the limits, restrictions may apply.

1. Cases Where Functionality Restrictions May Apply

If the following conditions apply during a downgrade, your site will stay live, and you’ll still be able to make updates. However, there will be limitations on certain functions.

  • If the CMS model count exceeds the new plan’s limit

    • Adding new CMS models won’t be possible.

  • If you downgrade to the Personal plan or below and have redirect settings

    • Existing redirects will still work, but you won’t be able to edit or add new redirects.

  • If the CMS item count exceeds the new plan’s limit

    • Published items that exceed the limit will automatically revert to drafts, as before. For more information, please see the article below.

2. Cases Where the Site Becomes Unpublished

If any of the following conditions apply during a downgrade, the site will become unpublished. An alert will appear if this applies, so you can make any necessary adjustments before the next scheduled renewal date.

  • Exceeding the page limit

  • Using the password protection feature with the Mini plan

If the site becomes unpublished, you’ll need to adjust to fit within the plan limits or upgrade to a higher plan to republish the site.

Page Limit

Q. Why did you add a page limit to the new plans?

A. While our Studio design editor has always had an internal data capacity limit, we couldn't accurately quantify it, which caused inconvenience for our users. To ensure you can continue using Studio with peace of mind, we've completely revamped the design editor's structure.

This allows for significantly more pages and lets us clearly state the upper limits.For Personal plans and above, you'll now be able to manage projects with much higher limits (150 pages or more) compared to the previous rough guideline of "about 80 pages"

Q. What types of pages count towards the page limit?

A. We count the published pages displayed on the page panel. Redirect settings (settings used to forward to other URLs) and pages set as private are not counted.

Note: For the Mini plan, the 404 page can be created in addition to the basic two pages.

Note: Redirect settings are an optional feature available for Business plan and higher.

For dynamic pages and dynamic modals, we only count the number shown in the page panel. Pages that you switch to from the top of the screen don't count towards this limit.

Q. Do "unpublished" pages set with the page publication setting feature count towards the page limit?

A. Pages set to "private" are not counted towards the page limit.


Important correction:

  • Old information (incorrect):

    Yes, we count all pages in the page panel regardless of their publication status, except for redirect pages.

  • New information (correct):

    Pages set to "private" are not counted towards the page limit.


Q. How will Free plan projects with over 50 pages created by December 1, 2024, be treated?

A. Free plan projects that have more than 50 pages created and published by November 30, 2024, will remain on the Free plan and retain their published status after the new plan is released.

However, please be aware that after the new plan is launched, certain restrictions will apply based on the new Free plan limits:

  • If you exceed the page limit, you won’t be able to republish or update the site.

  • To republish or update, you will need to bring the number of published pages within the limit or upgrade to an appropriate plan.

About CMS

Q. What does the model count refer to in the new plan limits?

A. The model count refers to the number of CMS models that contain published items.

How to Check Your Current Model Count

  1. Open the CMS dashboard.

  2. Check the status of items within each model.

    • Only models that have published, scheduled for publication, or modified items listed in the "Models" section of the CMS dashboard will be counted.

    • Models that contain only draft items are not included in the count.


  3. Count only the models that include published items.

We also plan to improve the display method on the dashboard to make it easier for you to see the count of models that are considered in the future.

Q. What are "published items"?

A. The number of published items refers to items*1 and collections*2 that have a status of either published or scheduled for publication.

To check the number of published items, open the CMS dashboard of your project, and it will be displayed in the lower left corner of the screen. In the image below, the number of published items is 17.

Items scheduled for publication are also included in this count.

*1 Items are the units of data created when using the CMS (Content Management System). Items can be published, unpublished, or scheduled for future publication.

*2 Collections are a feature in the CMS (Content Management System) that groups items together. You can group items from specific models and publish or unpublish them.


Additional information:

We have explicitly stated that items scheduled for publication are included in the count.


Q. Are collections included in the model limit count?

A. The number of collections is not included in the model limit count, as per the existing specifications.

Q. How should I proceed if the number of models I plan to use exceeds the limit of the new Business Plus plan?

A. The approach differs depending on the timing of your plan contract.

If you contract or renew an old plan by November 30, 2024:

You can migrate to the new plan even if you exceed the limit. Even if you exceed the model limit in the new plan, you can still add new models. However, you won’t be able to publish or schedule items within that model. If you want to use the added model, please either delete other models to stay within the limit or unpublish all items in other models.

If you're entering into a new contract on or after December 1, 2024:

It may be possible to accommodate your needs with an Enterprise plan. Please contact our support team if necessary.


Additional Information

  • We updated our policy on adding models when exceeding the limit as follows (Update date: November 1, 2024).

    New Policy:

    If you exceed the model limit in the new plan, you can add new models, but items within those models cannot be published or scheduled for publication. You can still edit or delete existing models.

    Previous Policy:

    If you exceeded the model limit in the new plan, you could not add further models and were only able to edit or delete existing models.


Q. Why has a CMS model limit been added to the new plans?

A. To ensure we can continue to guarantee the loading speed and stability of published sites across our entire service, we have decided to set a limit on the number of models after considering the usage patterns of our current customers. This limit also serves as a performance guarantee.

Moving forward, we will continue to implement improvements that make content management easier without relying heavily on CMS models. While this may cause some inconvenience to some customers, we kindly ask for your understanding.

Q. What's the latest update on CMS feature improvements? 🆙

A. We're excited to share our upcoming CMS feature improvements. Here's what you can expect:

Planned for November 2024 Release

  • Select Property

  • Multi-select Property

  • Ability to use these properties as CMS list filters

Planned for December 2024 and Beyond

  • Multiple filtering conditions for CMS lists

  • User Property

  • Date Property

Feature Details

Select and Multi-select Properties

These properties allow you to register custom text strings as options:

  • Select Property: Choose one item from the options

  • Multi-select Property: Choose multiple items from the options

Unlike reference properties, these only handle strings and don't include additional data like slugs. While you can't use them to create independent page paths, they're perfect for filtering content.

User Property

  • Allows you to select members participating in your project

  • Can be used to display article authors

Date Property

  • Enables setting custom dates

  • When combined with display conditions, you can:

    • Add badges to new articles after a specific date

    • Display notifications on older articles before a certain date

Multiple Filtering Conditions (Lists)

Currently, CMS list model filters only allow selecting one property at a time.

We're improving this to:

  • Enable selection of multiple properties

  • Allow complex filtering like "selecting multiple items within a specific tag (property)"

  • Support AND conditions for single or multiple property items

  • Combine up to three properties for advanced filtering


Note:

  • We've added information about upcoming CMS improvements (Last updated: November 11, 2024)


Other Questions

For "form count", do you mean the number of responses or the number of forms placed on the site?

A. This refers to the number of form responses* that can be viewed in the form dashboard. It does not refer to the number of forms placed on your site.

For more details, please refer to the help article below:

Q. In the new plans, redirects are an option for Business plan and above. How will redirect pages that have already been created be handled?

A. Existing redirect settings can continue to be used regardless of your plan.

However, changing existing redirect settings or adding new redirects will only be available as a feature in the new Business plan and above.

Please note that if you use a plan below Personal while retaining redirect settings, after the new plan is applied, you will only be able to delete existing redirects.

Q. API feature is an option for Business plan and above in the new structure. How will current API settings be handled?

A. The API feature available in the new Business plan and above will be provided as an "official version," which differs from the current beta version.

If you are currently using the beta version of the API feature, you will be able to continue using it regardless of the new plan restrictions. However, due to numerous operational issues with the beta version, there is a possibility that we may discontinue this functionality in the future after the release of the official version.

If you are considering utilizing API feature in the future, we hope you will look forward to the release of the official version, which is planned to be available in the new Business plan and above.

Q. Please explain how optional items that exist in current plans but not in new plans (such as CMS scheduling, making specific pages private, user management, etc.) will be handled after plan migration.

Specifically, the details are as follows:

  • CMS Publishing Schedule
    As this is a feature provided regardless of plan, it will continue to be available in all plans as a basic feature.

  • Making Specific Pages Private
    This will remain a feature available in paid plans, as it has been.

  • User Management
    Currently, we do not set any specific limit on the number of invited users for any plan, which will continue. The writer permission will be updated as "permission management" and is planned to be available in the new Business plan and above.

  • Custom Code
    This will remain a feature available in paid plans, as it has been.

Q. Where can I check the number of Visitors?

A. The number of Visitors is counted as the number of sessions that can be viewed in Studio Analytics.

Q. What happens if the number of Visitors exceeds the plan limit?

A. Similar to the current PV (Page View) limit, an alert will be displayed around the time of exceeding the limit, requesting you to upgrade your plan.
