I’m a Parse.ly customer, and I just read this news. What happens now?

Nothing! All of Parse.ly’s services continue to operate, and with a bigger support team than ever before! We also have many key investments planned spanning research, development, engineering, and design.

I’m worried that Parse.ly might evolve in a “WordPress-specific” direction, but our site doesn’t use WordPress. Is this a valid concern?

Parse.ly is now and will continue to be CMS-agnostic. Whether you use Drupal, AEM, Gatsby, or even multiple CMSes, Parse.ly will continue to work across all of them.

Whenever I hear about acquisitions, I’m worried that the tools I rely upon daily will change. How will Parse.ly change from this acquisition?

The primary way we will change is by having more investment, more support staff, and more development resources than ever before. If Parse.ly was a safe choice for your business in 2020, we believe it is an even safer choice for your business in 2021. We will continue to ship innovative new features (and products) for our customers, now with the backing of one of the open web’s biggest champions, Automattic.

I’m a Parse.ly customer or am actively considering using Parse.ly, will the pricing model change?

There are no proposed changes to the Parse.ly pricing model, and any proposals or renewals you are currently discussing with the Parse.ly team will be honored.

I love the Parse.ly support, onboarding, training and success team. Does this mean I’m going to lose my key contacts?

No, in fact you’re going to get even more love and support! WPVIP is committed to helping us do more through additional hiring and resources to help our customers achieve even greater results moving forward.

What about the Parse.ly staff?

The Parse.ly team is “all-in” on this partnership. This acquisition means that we can fulfill our vision faster and with more confidence. We will be here to support you.
