Welcome! This thread covers the most common questions about Buildr List, especially for Free and Basic members. If your question isn't answered here, ask below - the community (and our team) keep an eye on this category. Q: What's the difference between the plans? A: Free gets 2 cars and 1 published/shared build. Basic bumps that to 5 cars and 5 published builds, plus custom share links. Pro and Premium remove the car/build limits entirely and add build analytics and early access to new features, and Premium also adds a verified badge and featured placement priority. Check the Pricing page for the full breakdown. Q: How do I track my budget? A: Set an Estimated Budget when you add a car. Every part you log with a price rolls up automatically into Budget Used / Budget Left on that car - no manual math. If you'd rather not track budget for a build at all, there's a "No budget tracking" option when you add or edit the car. Q: How do I share a build with a friend? A: From a car's Details tab, use Manage Sharing. You can generate a share code for someone to enter, publish the build so anyone with the link can see it, or invite a specific person by username or email as a Viewer or Collaborator. You control what each person can see (prices, budget, notes) per person or by default. Q: What's the difference between "Publish" and "Share by code"? A: Publishing makes the build public to anyone with the link and eligible to appear in Featured Builds. Share-by-code is more private - only people you give the code to (or invite directly) can see it, and it never shows up in Featured Builds or the public gallery. Q: I'm on Free or Basic - why can't I open a support ticket? A: Real support tickets with an assigned agent are a Pro/Premium perk. Free and Basic members get community support right here in the forum - post in Build Help or ask here in Community Support, and either another builder or our team will jump in. If something needs a real ticket, our team can open one on your behalf. Q: Can I message anyone on the site? A: Direct messages are friends-only. Send a friend request first from someone's profile, and once they accept you'll be able to message them. Q: Is my profile public? A: By default your profile shows your published cars, public part count, friend count, and last-active date. You can set your profile to private in your account settings so only friends can see that information. Q: How do I get help with something not covered here? A: Post a new thread in Build Help for build-specific questions, General Discussion for anything else, or reply right here - we're watching this category.
