Zero-downtime deployments, 100% replication, while cutting hosting costs.

Can I customize the kit?

Absolutely! We help create a fresh Laravel installation running the latest version with all the Docker configurations you need. Once your project is created, you can customize it to any way you'd like. That means you can run services other than what we provide.

What hosts are compatible?

You can use any host that runs Ubuntu 22.04 or higher. This means Spin can run in your basement if you really wanted. We intend to add other Linux distributions in the future, but for now we've only tested it on modern Ubuntu. We recommend provisioning a brand new server and migrating your data to that server if you have an existing application. If you're looking for a host, check out the hosts we recommend.

Are servers included?

You will have to provide your own servers. The amazing news is you can pick any host in the world that you'd like, just as long as the host supports running Ubuntu 22.04 or higher. You can refer to the open source Spin documentation for the exact server requirements to run Spin.

How do I get updates?

You'll be invited to a private GitHub repository. New projects will automatically receive the latest stable version when you create a project. For projects that were already created with Spin Pro, you can subscribe to release announcements via GitHub where you'll receive an email notification when a new release is available. Updating files is as easy as copying and pasting.

Can I get a refund?

After you get access to the Spin Pro repository, the Spin Pro Starter Kit is yours forever, so it cannot be refunded. We do this to prevent abuse, but rest assured we're fair and honest people. We're confident you'll find value in your purchase.

What payment methods do you accept?

We use Lemon Squeezy to process payments, so we accept all major credit cards and PayPal. If you need a detailed list, check out the Lemon Squeezy docs. We do not offer purchase power parity (PPP). The revenue we generate helps us invest more into our open source projects.

How does this compare to the open source version of Spin?

Everything is based on the open source version of Spin. You'll be running the same version of Spin as the rest of the world. The major difference is the template. Open source users can get our basic Laravel template with spin new laravel (which just comes with SQLite), you'll be able to run spin new laravel-pro. This gives you a magical on-boarding experience where you can select what database engines you'd like to use and if you'd like to use any advanced features from Laravel (Horizon, Queues, Reverb, Vite, etc).

How do team activations work?

When you purchase a team license, you'll receive a license key to share with your team members. Each developer can then connect their GitHub account to this license key. Our system will automatically send GitHub invites to the private repository.

Please note that member activations are permanent and cannot be undone. Team licenses cannot be resold. We appreciate your understanding in using the licenses as intended to ensure fair access for all users.

If you have any questions about proper license usage, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team. We're here to help make sure your team gets the most out of our product!
