Can Fanann replace a whole tech team?

For most stores, booking apps, internal tools and MVPs, yes. For very complex systems, Fanann speeds up your team instead of replacing it.

If I start with Fanann, can I move to an agency later?

Yes. You own the code, it syncs with GitHub, and any team can pick it up.

Who handles security and hosting?

Fanann manages hosting, security updates and backups, so you can focus on your product.

I have a project with an agency now. Can I move it?

Upload the code or connect the repo, and the agent prepares it for Fanann. The Elite plan includes full migration.
