About

The service includes account and user management, JetStream management, custom alerting, connectors to external services, and cloud-to-edge workloads. The pricing page shows a perpetual Personal Plan at $0/month with no credit card required, plus paid Starter, Pro, and Enterprise plans.

Free Tier Value
This free tier is a real, capped starter plan rather than a trial: it includes 2 accounts, 10 connections, 2 leaf nodes, and 10 GiB of network data with no credit card required. Since the cheapest paid plan is $49/month, the free offering is worth about $49/month to a buyer comparing practical capability, though the tight quotas and missing paid-plan extras keep its feature parity around the middle of the pack.
