Question 1

Does this service replace Stripe or Paddle?

Accepted Answer

No. The Entitlements service is designed to sit cleanly downstream of your payment provider. Stripe handles the subscriptions and credit cards; Launch Rail handles the actual enforcement of what those payments unlock within your application logic.

Question 2

Can I change my pricing tiers without a code redeploy?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Since all feature definitions and plans are stored in the database and can be synced via API, you can iterate on your pricing model or bundle new features into plans instantly without a single line of code change.

Question 3

How performant are the limit checks?

Accepted Answer

The Go service is designed for runtime entitlement checks. Measure latency and capacity with your plan model, data volume, availability target, and deployment before placing it on a critical request path.

Question 4

Can I grant custom limits to specific enterprise customers?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. The SubjectFeatureOverride system allows you to grant individual tenants specific limits or feature access that supersedes their base plan—perfect for closing large B2B deals that require custom quotas.
