Questions, answered

Is happs really free?
For personal users, yes, always. No catches, no upsells. For businesses, the Free tier gives you a verified profile, unlimited posts, and reach to your immediate neighbourhood. Upgrade to Business when you want to reach the entire GTA.
What's the difference between Free and Business?
Both reach the entire GTA — the upgrade is the toolkit. Free gives you a basic profile, unlimited posts, and 14-day post duration. Business $39 adds 60-day posts, scheduling, analytics, push notifications to your followers, up to 4 locations, and the verified badge. Larger chains, malls, and regional brands get custom Enterprise pricing.
Can Business accounts pay to dominate the feed?
No. Every Discover view caps at 2 posts per business, no matter what tier you're on. Same rule for businesses, neighbours, and personal posters. On every refresh, those 2 slots rotate so your customers see variety instead of the same post twice. This is our "Fair Feed" promise: no one can pay to flood Discover. Business buys bigger reach, longer durations, scheduling, and analytics. It does not buy section dominance.
Why can't personal accounts post Local Deals or commercial categories?
Those categories are inherently commercial. A normal person doesn't have a "grand opening" or run a restaurant. Locking commercial categories to verified business accounts keeps the platform honest and means when you see a Local Deal, you know it's from a real verified business.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Pay-as-you-go monthly on Business. No contracts, no commitments, no cancellation fees. Enterprise is annual (with 2-month-free prepay discount) but custom-quoted to your needs. Stop whenever you want.
How long do my posts stay live?
Personal and Business Free: up to 14 days. Business $39: up to 60 days. Enterprise: custom. You can always set a shorter end date for time-limited deals like a weekend sale.
I have multiple locations, how does that work?
Business $39 covers up to 4 locations under one subscription. Each location gets its own profile, address, and posts so customers in Vaughan only see the Vaughan store. Locations share your brand identity (logo, name, verified status). Chains with 5+ locations get custom Enterprise pricing.
My business is already on happs (aggregated). Why pay?
Aggregated listings are the free trial. We pull events from your public website so you show up automatically. But aggregated listings can't push notifications to your followers, can't be branded with your logo, can't be edited if we get a date wrong, and don't include analytics. Verifying + upgrading to Business unlocks the full product: push notifications, custom branding, control over your listings, GTA-wide reach, and analytics for your team.
I'm a chain, mall, museum, or regional brand. What should I look at?
Enterprise. We've custom-priced it for accounts like Yorkdale, Vaughan Mills, AGO, ROM, TIFF, Cadillac Fairview, and major regional chains. You get multi-metro reach as we expand cities, custom branding, API access for content sync, BI export, dedicated account management, and priority placement when contested. Email info@happs.ca for a conversation.
When does happs launch?
happs is launching in Vaughan, Ontario right now. The app is currently in TestFlight beta and the App Store launch is just around the corner. Sign up for early access at info@happs.ca.
