The practical difference
Both AppsResolve modes use the same intake, knowledge, preparation, human-review, and escalation workflow. The decision is about operating ownership, access, coverage, and the work your team wants to keep.
| Decision area | Self-service | Managed support |
|---|---|---|
| Reviewer | A member of your organization. | An authorized AppsResolve application support specialist for in-scope requests. |
| Product authority | Your team keeps all decisions and can act with internal access. | Your team retains engineering, legal, security, refund, and other reserved authority. |
| Knowledge maintenance | Your team owns approved content and response instructions. | AppsResolve can maintain them with your approval under the service scope. |
| Coverage | Depends on your internal reviewer availability. | Covered hours and response targets are agreed during onboarding. |
| Predictability | Software price maps to successful automatic processing capacity. | Monthly managed capacity is paired with a defined operating scope. |
| Best starting signal | You have a capable reviewer but want faster preparation and better structure. | Founders or engineers still absorb routine support and need an operating owner. |
Best fit
Self-service
Teams that want software leverage while retaining daily queue ownership.
Managed support
Teams that need experienced technical support capacity without another full-time hire.
