# App Management

An **application** is a distinct functional unit that includes data structures, scenarios, API endpoints, web pages, etc.

## Creating new applications

Click the \[**+ New app ]** button to create and customize your application:

To [create an app with a paid plan](/pricing-and-billing/pricing-plans.md#app-plans), you need to add a basic payment method or add funds to your account balance in advance.

{% hint style="info" %}
Choose the system name wisely — it is the address of your app (for example, ***yourapp**.directual.app*), it cannot be changed in the future. But, certainly, you can use your [custom domain address](/web-pages/web-app-settings/custom-domain.md).
{% endhint %}

### Using templates

You can create a blank app and build it from scratch, or use one of our free templates. This is a great way to quickly learn the Platform. Some templates require integrations (with email or Telegram) which can be configured right here.

### Application settings

Click the "App settings" button on an app card to edit the details:

#### **General settings**

* System name (can't be changed later!)
* Displayed name
* Description
* You can also delete your app from this menu

#### **Adding developers**

To add developers to work on an app, you need to create a [Team](/teams/teams.md).

#### Billing

There are three different [app plans](/pricing-and-billing/pricing-plans.md) to cater to your specific needs:

1\) **Startup** plan (monthly/yearly)

2\) **Pro** plan (monthly/yearly)

3\) **Business** plan (monthly/yearly)

#### **Hosting region**

The option to choose a hosting region is only available with the [Pro and Business plans](#hosting-region).
