Okay, but what happens once I sign up?

You will be able to Boost and un-Boost apps directly from your Dashboard, by clicking on the toggle.

Apps that have been Boosted will have a diamond icon next to the project name on the individual project page and within the project editor.

You can Boost up to five of your Glitch projects at one time and the extra capabilities will automatically be applied!

If you change your mind about which of your projects you want boosted, you can switch them out by going to your Dashboard and clicking the toggle next to the app that you want to un-Boost or Boost.
