Can I run Gato GraphQL without WordPress?
Yes you can. Gato GraphQL can be included within any PHP-based application (not only WordPress), based on Laravel, Symfony, or any other.
Check guide Running Gato GraphQL without WordPress for the explanation on how to do it.

Does Gato GraphQL have a refund policy?
