Private Beta Program

As a part of our private beta, you get full access to all features as we build. Spots are limited so we can provide hands-on support and gather real feedback.

What private beta means

Private beta is a limited-access phase where we’re actively developing and refining Village based on real user feedback. During this phase:

Full Organization-level access — see Account Plans for details
Active development — new features are being added regularly
Direct influence — your feedback shapes what gets built next
Priority support — faster response times and direct access to the development team

Beta benefits

As a private beta user, you receive exclusive benefits that won’t be available to future users:

50% off paid plans for 3 months

In exchange for your feedback, when Village exits beta, you’ll transition to a paid plan — at 50% off for your first 3 months.

You’ll receive a discount code by email when beta ends. The 3-month discount period starts when you apply it, not when you joined beta.

How your feedback helps

Private beta users have a direct line to shaping Village’s development. When you share feedback:

Feature prioritization — Your requests help us decide what to build next
UX improvements — Your experience informs design decisions
Bug fixes — Your reports help us catch and fix issues quickly
New ideas — Your suggestions often become our best features

What to expect during beta

Active development

You’ll see the app evolving rapidly:

New features appearing regularly

Potential changes

Since we’re still building, some things might change:

Feature layouts may be updated
New capabilities may be added
Some workflows may be refined
Settings and options may expand

Stable core functionality

While we’re actively developing, the core features you use today are stable and reliable:

Create and share events for people to sign up
Build a custom sign-up form for each event
See who’s signed up in real-time
Email notifications
Attendees can cancel their own spot
Remove attendees and notify them with a message
Add your organization’s logo and name to event pages

Give feedback directly inside the app

Getting the most from beta

Use the feedback button in the bottom-right corner of the app to:

Report bugs or unexpected behavior

Share what you love (or what’s confusing)
Rate your experience

Every message is read by the Village team and directly influences our development priorities.

Test all the features:

Create different types of events
Experiment with the form builder

Beta update announcements
New feature notifications

When your discount period begins

Beta timeline

We don’t have a fixed end date for the private beta phase. We’re keeping spots limited to ensure focused development and quality feedback from our beta community. We’ll transition to full production when:

Core features are polished and stable
User feedback is consistently positive
We’ve built out the planned feature set
The platform is ready for broader adoption

You’ll receive your discount code by email when beta ends. The 3-month period starts when you apply it.

If you choose not to upgrade

If you decide not to upgrade when beta ends, your account will revert to the Free plan. Your data is never deleted. All of your events, sign-ups, and form responses remain intact and accessible.

What changes on the Free plan:

You can have up to 3 published events at a time — existing published events beyond that limit stay live, but you won’t be able to publish new ones until you’re under the limit
Events are capped at 15 slots for new events — existing events with more slots are unaffected
Group messaging, realtime dashboard, check-in mode, event duplication, CSV export, and organization branding are no longer active

You can upgrade to an Organization plan at any time to restore full access. Your discount code is valid for 3 months after beta ends.
