FAQ

## Got a question about Starhive's no-code backend offering?

Not answered here? Speak with our team

Is Starhive only a no-code backend?

Not at all. Starhive is an asset and service management solution with a strong focus on data.

We originally created our API connectors to enable our partners to create custom request portals for service management use cases.

But because you can store and update _any_ data in Starhive you are not limited to just asset or service management use cases. We've seen everything from salon booking systems to wedding RSVP apps all using Starhive as the backend and often as the admin panel.

Doesn't this mean I can bill fewer hours?

Using Starhive as a no-code backend for your client app will result in faster development time and, therefore, fewer billable hours.

For our partners selling custom solutions built with Starhive, they charge based on the solution, not hours.

Does Starhive provide hosting?

We handle the hosting of all data stored inside Starhive plus anything you build using Starhive features such as automations, alerts, etc.

Hosting the custom frontend is your responsibility.
