Question 1

What is a tracking plan?

Accepted Answer

A tracking plan is a document that defines which analytics events your product tracks, what properties each event includes, and which platforms implement them. Ordaze replaces messy spreadsheets with a living, validated registry.

Question 2

What is analytics event management?

Accepted Answer

Analytics event management is the process of defining, versioning, and governing the events your product sends to analytics platforms. It covers naming conventions, property schemas, ownership, and implementation coverage, ensuring every team ships consistent, trustworthy data.

Question 3

Which languages do you support?

Accepted Answer

We generate type-safe tracking code for Swift, Kotlin, TypeScript, Python, and more. Each output matches the idioms and patterns native to that language.

Question 4

Can I use Ordaze with my existing analytics provider?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Ordaze works alongside Segment, Amplitude, Mixpanel, and any custom analytics setup. It generates the tracking calls, and your existing providers receive the data.

Question 5

How does the CI/CD integration work?

Accepted Answer

Add our GitHub Action to your pipeline. It validates that your code matches the tracking plan schema on every pull request, catching mismatches before they reach production.

Question 6

Is there a free plan?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Free plan includes up to 100 events, unlimited team members, and full code generation. It's perfect for side projects and trying Ordaze before committing.

Question 7

How does Ordaze help with data governance?

Accepted Answer

Ordaze centralises your event definitions and enforces them at the code level. Every event has an owner, a schema, and a version history. Breaking changes require a new version, creating an audit trail that satisfies data governance requirements.

Question 8

What is event coverage scanning?

Accepted Answer

Coverage scanning analyses your codebase to check which events from your tracking plan are actually implemented, and which are missing or mismatched. The Ordaze scanner runs in CI or locally and reports results directly to your dashboard.

Question 9

How does version control for tracking plans work in Ordaze?

Accepted Answer

You publish immutable versions of your event registry, just like software releases. Each version snapshots all event definitions and properties. Teams can compare versions, see what changed, and roll back if needed, giving product and engineering a shared source of truth.

Question 10

Can multiple teams collaborate on a tracking plan?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Ordaze supports role-based access with Owner, Admin, Editor, and Viewer roles. Product managers can define event requirements, engineers can review and implement them, and analytics teams can audit coverage, all within the same workspace.

Question 11

Does Ordaze support mobile analytics (iOS and Android)?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Ordaze generates native Swift files for iOS and Kotlin files for Android, with the same event definitions. The coverage scanner auto-detects your platform and scans the appropriate source files.

Question 12

What analytics providers does Ordaze integrate with?

Accepted Answer

Ordaze is provider-agnostic: it generates the tracking calls and your existing provider (Segment, Amplitude, Mixpanel, Firebase, or custom) receives the data. There is no vendor lock-in.

Question 13

How do I get started with Ordaze?

Accepted Answer

Sign in with Google at app.ordaze.com, create a workspace, and define your first events. Then publish a version, generate an API token, and run the scanner CLI in your repository. The quickstart guide walks you through each step in under 10 minutes.

Question 14

What is type-safe analytics code generation?

Accepted Answer

Type-safe code generation produces tracking helper files (Swift enums, Kotlin data classes, TypeScript interfaces) directly from your event registry. Because the types are derived from the schema, the compiler catches mismatched property names or types before the code ships.

Question 15

How does Ordaze handle breaking changes to events?

Accepted Answer

Adding or removing required properties is a breaking change. Ordaze flags these when you publish a new version and the CI scanner blocks merges that would violate the current schema, so downstream consumers always know what to expect.

Question 16

Who is Ordaze for?

Accepted Answer

Ordaze is built for product teams, engineering teams, and analytics teams that need to collaborate on analytics event tracking. It's especially useful for companies with multiple platforms (iOS, Android, web, backend) where inconsistent event naming creates data quality problems.

Question 17

What counts as a tracked event?

Accepted Answer

A tracked event is any unique analytics event defined in your tracking plan. For example: ButtonClicked, PageViewed, or PurchaseCompleted. The limit applies to the total number of distinct event definitions, not to the number of times an event fires in production.

Question 18

What happens when I hit the event limit?

Accepted Answer

You can still view and manage your existing events. Adding new event definitions will require upgrading to a higher plan. Your existing code generation and CI/CD integrations continue to work uninterrupted.

Question 19

Can I switch plans at any time?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can upgrade instantly and the new limits take effect immediately. Downgrades take effect at the end of your current billing cycle.

Question 20

Is there a free trial for paid plans?

Accepted Answer

Yes. New signups get 14 days of full Pro access automatically, no credit card required. After the trial, you continue on the Free plan (1 workspace, unlimited members, 100 events) with no time limit unless you choose to upgrade.

Question 21

Do I need a credit card to start?

Accepted Answer

No. The Free plan requires no credit card and has no time limit. You only enter payment details if you choose to upgrade to Pro or Team.

Question 22

What happens to my data if I downgrade?

Accepted Answer

Your events and tracking plans are never deleted. If you exceed the lower plan's event limit, existing events stay intact but you will not be able to create new ones until you reduce usage or upgrade again.

Question 23

Are there any long-term contracts?

Accepted Answer

No. Both Pro and Team are billed monthly with no annual commitment required. You can cancel at any time and your plan stays active through the end of the billing period.

Question 24

Do you offer discounts for annual billing or nonprofits?

Accepted Answer

Annual billing and nonprofit discounts are not available yet, but both are on our roadmap. Contact us at hello@ordaze.com and we will notify you when they launch.
