FAQ

Can I trial Dittofi before paying?

Sure! We offer a 48 hour free trial where you can experiment with one workspace & one app. You can’t download or publish your code to a custom domain or remove the Dittofi watermark while on the free trial, but you can deploy your app into Amazon Web Services and test it on a Dittofi branded domain.

What is a workspace?

A workspace is where you can build your apps. Each pricing plan that you purchase is linked to a single workspace. So if you want to increase the number of workspaces, this will cost you extra. We suggest that you have a dedicated workspace for different groups of Dittofi users. For example, one company workspace & your own personal workspace for private projects.

Can I import my existing app into Dittofi?

It depends on your technology stack. We have written converters that turn HTML / CSS directly into our React / Redux frameworks. This means you can take existing web apps or nicely designed HTML / CSS & import the frontends design directly into Dittofi. But then you will still need to rebuild your platform backend.

What languages does the code generate in?

Our generators turn your backend into golang & your frontend into a combination of React / Redux, HTML5 & CSS. We also have some big data processing engines written in C / C++ that you can purchase off the shelf.

Why do you build our backend in golang?

Golang is a great language, because it is the perfect trade off between ease of use & power. Languages like C / C++ are slightly more powerful, but they are much harder to use & it is difficult to find really good C / C++ developers. We therefore use golang for the bulk of the generated code & leave more complex code for specialist tasks, like big data processing.

Can I plug my Dittofi app into third party APIs?

Yes! Dittofi has a web services tool that allows you to plug into any third party API over HTTP / HTTPS. We have templates for more commonly used APIs. The configurations for these APIs can be applied directly out of the box.

How much does the code cost?

The code is included in all pricing plans. You can download, publish to Github or sync your local repositories with GIT with as much code as you want. The code is identical to the code that the Dittofi founding team has been writing by hand for the past 10 years. A basic Dittofi project will save you $10,000 – $20,000 on development costs. More complex projects can save you more than $300,000 – $500,000.

Can I host my web app anywhere else?

On the all of the pricing plans, you have full control to export your source code & IP & host your app anywhere. The code we generate runs cross platform, typically hosted on either Windows or Linux & can be run in AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, physical machines or anywhere else where you have a server setup. That said, our hosting options are fully managed & optimized environments that you can leverage as you’re looking to scale.

How secure is the Dittofi cloud?

We host our solutions inside Amazon Web Services. We containerize every application that you build, either in test or in production. We use docker to help ensure that all environments are secured. In addition, all data can be configured to be securely transferred over the network using SSL & all data is encrypted on disk.

Can I cancel my subscription at any time?

Yes. You can cancel your subscription. We will hold your account active for 30 days after you’ve cancelled your subscription, in case you want to come back & continue your work. After this, we will delete your account entirely.

How quickly can I learn Dittofi?

As a complete beginner to Dittofi, you should be able to build a mutli page app with some basic functionality within the first month of use. For developers or more experienced app developers, we have seen people build more complex apps in the first 4 weeks of usage.
