What is Crystal Compass?

Crystal Compass is a monthly subscription that gives your team direct access to the makers of the language. Whether you’re refining performance, scaling systems, or onboarding new devs, you can have seasoned engineers at your side who know the language well.

With plans starting at just $1,000/month, we help you optimize your code, stay ahead of best practices, and align with Crystal’s evolving standards.

• Get unstuck, faster: Quick insights from the Crystal team to unblock you in minutes, not hours.
• Speed up onboarding: Help new team members ramp up with guided support from experts.
• Confidence for big decisions: Need to change something critical? Talk it over with the people who know Crystal best.
