I'm curious when did cloud plans get restricted with its apps? On v4 terms, we were allowed to use all the apps freely unless you wanted to go up in tier to use courses or live tracking but v5 plans are now apps restricted? I went ahead upgraded my v4 terms to v5 thinking it'll be the same without reading the disclaimer and went to my site to remove any themes and such before requesting to upgrade. Noticed apps were disabled and everything I did in pages no longer accessible. Stuck on beginner plan meaning no other apps are included even if I did go up in one that's only blog, calendar, downloads, clubs, commerce but i'll still have to go up another tier just to use the page app. With the prices that are shown on the pricing, I'll be paying roughly 10-20$ more than the price suggested.

I have check the blog (hasn't been posted since November 29, 2024) and Invision Community Insider basically upcoming features and release patches nothing was announced of this unless I missed a topic or comment that addressed this. Unless it was through email which I hardly ever check.

V4 vs V5 did not change any available features for cloud vs not cloud.

The modern cloud offerings have always had certain restrictions depending on the plan. For example the most basic cloud offering is basically forums only. The next level does not include access to databases.

There were old legacy cloud plans that had all apps, but had other restrictions such as number of page views etc.

The old packages, which is what you were on, where restricted by page views and bandwidth, rather than function. This is no longer the case on the new packages. You now choose package based on the features you require for your site.

You would not see an announcement about this, as it would have only be applicable to new customers, who would see what they are buying. Older customers who now wish to move are shown the packages and what they contain when switching, which it sems you hadnt read through and just chose the lowest package available there.

Thanks, that make sense. I should've read it than speed running it haha.
