# Introduction to LaunchSuite
Welcome to LaunchSuite! This guide will introduce you to our powerful platform and help you understand how to get the most out of it.
## What is LaunchSuite?
LaunchSuite is a comprehensive SaaS platform designed to help you build, manage, and scale your applications with ease. We provide a robust API, powerful webhooks, team collaboration features, and enterprise-grade security—all designed with developer experience in mind.
### Key Features

## Core Concepts
### Accounts
Your account is your gateway to LaunchSuite. When you sign up, you create a personal account with your email and password. Your account contains all your teams, API keys, and settings.
### Teams
Teams are organizational units that help you collaborate with others. Each team has its own:
- Members with different roles (Owner, Admin, Member, Viewer)
- API keys for programmatic access
- Webhooks for event handling
- Billing and subscription information
### API Keys
API keys are used to authenticate requests to the LaunchSuite API. They're secure tokens that you use in your application to interact with our platform. Think of them like passwords for your applications.
### Subscriptions
Subscriptions determine what features and limits your team has access to. We offer different plans:
- **Free**: Perfect for getting started and learning
- **Pro**: For serious development and production use
- **Enterprise**: For large-scale operations with custom requirements
