Croft Client Fit Matrix

Croft only earns its keep when three conditions line up: the app was built by chatting with Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor, it runs on Croft's private server, and the client cannot absorb traditional APM overhead. Score each prospect against that grid before quoting. A local service business needing one Stripe-connected booking tool fits: deploy it, wire error grouping and alert emails, hand over the dashboard, and bill the $2,250 Solo App Launch against roughly 20 hours of setup. An agency maintaining a 40-microservice platform does not fit, because Croft's 7-day log retention and single-server model will not carry that load. The Team tier at $99/month supports up to 50 people with roles and permissions, which suits a shared internal dashboard across a client's staff. Solo at $24/month covers up to 10 people. Apps built outside Croft's runtime get nothing from the monitoring layer, so disqualify them early rather than discovering it mid-delivery.
