Site half of the Marketplace listing work. App half: commit-check/commit-check-app#36.

Two commits. The first put a four-plan ladder on the page; the second cuts it to three. The diff against main is the thing to review.

The dead links

github.com/marketplace/commit-check returns 404 — the listing is not published. Three places linked to it:

  • docs/index.md — the Pricing section's "See the plan on the Marketplace"
  • docs/guides/github-app.md — the opening sentence, and the primary Install button

All three now point at github.com/apps/commit-check, which resolves today. They move back to the Marketplace URL as the last step of publishing the listing.

Pricing

Plan Price Covers
Open Source Free Public repositories, on any account
Personal Free Private repositories on a personal account
Team $19 / month Private repositories in an organization, at any size

Prices are on the page. autofix.ci keeps every number on the Marketplace and links out. Copying that would be wrong here: this section already argues that GitHub charges $21 a seat and about $340 a month for a twenty-person team, and that argument does not land unless the number it is being compared against is sitting next to it. The closing line now reads "Nineteen dollars is what the same twenty people cost here — and the same twenty thousand", which is the seat-independence doing work.

No seat tiers. The App cannot enforce a seat count — it holds no organization permissions, and GitHub does not check seats on a flat-rate plan. Publishing "up to 25 users" would be an honour system with a 5× cliff at 25 and nothing above 200.

Personal stays free. It competes with our own GitHub Action, which does the same job on a private personal repository inside GitHub's free Actions allowance. guides/github-app.md had promised "and stay free"; that sentence is intact.

The MIT tools get their own lead sentence instead of being folded into a card called "Free", since "Free" is now two plan names that each mean something narrower.

New: Terms of Service

/terms was a 404 and the Marketplace listing wants one as a resource. Covers what the service does, billing (GitHub's, not ours), availability, liability, and the exit — the Action reads the same cchk.toml, so nothing you write is locked to the hosted App.

This is a starting draft and wants a human read before the listing goes in for review. I am not a lawyer.

New FAQ entry

"Who is behind this?" — the eight existing entries never say who runs the hosted service. autofix.ci names its maintainer in its FAQ, and on a paid App that is a real trust signal.

Layout

Three cards fit the shared .cc-cards grid, so the minmax override the four-card version needed is reverted. Measured, not assumed:

Viewport Layout
1024px and up one row of three
700–820px 2 + 1
600px and below stacked

Testing

mkdocs build --strict clean (0 warnings, SOCIAL_CARDS=false locally since cairosvg is not in my env). Rendered and eyeballed the Pricing section, the App guide's Plans table and the new Terms page.

tests/docs_sync_test.py could not run locally — it imports commit_check.rules_catalog, not installed in this interpreter. Untouched by this PR; CI passes it.

Also caught: commit-check/commit-check-app is private, so links into it 404 for the public. The Terms page's security and issue-tracker links point at commit-check/commit-check instead.

The Pricing section pointed at github.com/marketplace/commit-check,
which is a 404 — the listing is not published yet. So did two links on
the GitHub App guide. All three now go to github.com/apps/commit-check,
which resolves today; they move back once the listing is live.

Prices are on the page rather than behind a "see the plan" link.
autofix.ci deliberately keeps every number on the Marketplace, but our
Pricing section already argues against $21 a seat and about $340 a
month — the contrast only lands with $10 sitting next to it.

Personal moves from free to $4. The App guide had promised that
everything on a personal account was free "and stay free"; that
sentence is gone.

Adds a Terms of Service page. The Marketplace listing lists one as a
resource and /terms was a 404.

Adds a "Who is behind this?" FAQ entry — the eight existing ones never
say who runs the hosted service, which is a fair question to have
answered before paying for it.

The pricing grid needed its own minmax: four cards at 15rem overflow
Material's 61rem column and wrap to an unbalanced 3 + 1.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The documentation updates define hosted App pricing, licensing, installation, and service terms. The site adds a Terms of Service navigation entry and adjusts the pricing layout to display four plans in one row.

Changes

Hosted App documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Pricing and installation content
docs/guides/github-app.md, docs/index.md, docs/stylesheets/landing.css
Pricing now lists Open Source, Personal, Team, and Business plans. Installation links point to the App page. The site documents MIT-licensed alternatives and adjusts the pricing grid for four plans.
Terms of Service and site navigation
docs/terms.md, mkdocs.yml
A Terms of Service page defines hosted App behavior, billing, responsibilities, availability, liability, termination, changes, and contact details. The page is added to the Reference navigation.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 74e6e

The new Terms present Marketplace installation and billing as available even though the listing is not yet published. Readers may be directed to an unavailable purchase path, so the wording should be corrected or publication completed before merge.

Three plans, not four. Personal goes back to free and the paid tier
loses its seat ceiling.

Personal at $4 was competing against our own GitHub Action, which does
the same job on a private personal repository for nothing on GitHub's
free Actions allowance. Asking a solo developer for $48 a year to skip
writing a ten-line workflow file was never going to convert, and the
price of asking was withdrawing "and stay free" from a page that said
it. That sentence is back.

"Up to 25 users" and "up to 200 users" were unenforceable: the App
holds no organization permissions, so it cannot read a member list, and
GitHub does not check seats on a flat-rate plan. They also put a
five-fold cliff at 25 — hire one person, pay $50 — and no plan at all
above 200. One price for an organization, whatever its size.

$19 rather than $10 because the ceiling is gone: it is the number that
still has to hold for an org of three hundred.

Reverts the .cc-pricing minmax; three cards fit the shared grid.

The page said the App is listed on the Marketplace and that billing is
handled there. Neither is true today — the listing is unpublished, and
the App guide says plainly that nothing is enforced. Two pages of the
same site disagreeing about whether you can be charged is the wrong one
to get wrong, so the billing section now opens by saying nothing is,
and the rest of it moves to the future tense.

Caught by CodeRabbit on #38.
