Features of the Starter Portal

Updated yesterday

The Starter Portal is a special version of our powerful miniExtensions Portal designed to provide basic portal functionality (like viewing and editing existing records linked to logged in user) to users on the free plan. Additional advanced features can be unlocked by upgrading your plan to a higher tier. To see which plans support Advanced Portals, please refer to our pricing page or this article.

Note that you can still try out all features of the Advanced Portal while on the free plan! You'll simply select the Advanced Portal on the Create Extension page, or simply click the Try for free button on your portal's configuration page!
