Pricing

Free, and not the kind that becomes expensive

Falorb is MIT-licensed software you run on your own machines. No seats, no event caps, and no feature held back for a tier that costs money. If you would rather not run the servers, managed hosting is available: the same software, operated for you.

Managed hosting

Quoted, not listed

The identical software on infrastructure operated for you: provisioning, upgrades, migrations, backups and monitoring, in a deployment of your own in a region you choose. Priced against your traffic volume, retention window and support level, which is why there is no number on this page instead of a made-up one.

  • A dedicated deployment, not a row in a shared cluster
  • Upgrades, migrations and tested restores handled
  • Help wiring goals and funnels to what you actually measure
  • Move to self-hosting whenever you want; the licence guarantees it

Honest arithmetic

What it actually costs you

Free software is not free to operate. Here is the real bill, so the comparison you make is a fair one.

A server
One machine holding Postgres, Redis and ClickHouse. The ClickHouse configuration ships tuned for a shared host, so a modest VPS is realistic for a portfolio at small-to-medium traffic.
Your attention
Upgrades, backups and the occasional restart. There is a backup script and a health endpoint, but nobody is on call for you.
Email delivery
Optional, and only for alert emails and invitations. Falorb falls back to SMTP or to logging when no provider is configured.
GeoIP databases
Free MaxMind databases, fetched by a script. Not vendored, because the licence forbids redistribution and they go stale in weeks.
Not on the bill
Per-event pricing, seat licences, a data-processing agreement, an annual renegotiation, or an export fee when you leave.
Why free

What you get instead of a bill

The reasons this is free are the same reasons it is built the way it is.

No processor to trustA vendor with your visitors' data is a party you have to trust, audit and contract with. Self-hosting removes the relationship rather than papering over it.The privacy architecture
No incentive to sampleHosted analytics prices by volume, which makes cheap plans sample your data. Falorb has no reason to: your rows are on your disk, and nobody is paying per event.What running it involves
No lock-in to escapeThe data is in your Postgres and your ClickHouse in documented tables. There is no export process because it was never held anywhere else.Inside the repository
Questions

Pricing, such as it is

Is any of the software held back for a paid tier?

No. Every report, every SDK, the MCP server and every role are in the MIT-licensed repository, and the licence cannot be retracted for code already published. Anything released under it stays usable, modifiable and redistributable by anyone, forever, including commercially. The only thing money buys is somebody else running the servers.

What is managed hosting, then?

The identical software on infrastructure operated for you: provisioning, upgrades, migrations, backups and monitoring, in a deployment of your own in a region you choose. Pricing depends on traffic volume, retention window and the level of support, so it is quoted rather than listed. You can move to self-hosting at any point, and the licence means nobody can prevent it.

What is the catch with self-hosting?

You operate it. That means a server, a database you are responsible for backing up, and upgrades you apply yourself. For some teams that is cheaper and simpler than a subscription; for others the operational load is the expensive part. It is a genuine trade, not a free lunch, and it is exactly the trade managed hosting exists to take off your hands.

Are there event limits or seat limits?

None in the software. There is no counting mechanism to enforce one, no plan metadata and no billing code. The limits are whatever your hardware imposes.

Can I use it for client work?

Yes. The MIT licence permits commercial use, modification and redistribution. Workspaces exist precisely for that: each client's properties, members and alerts live in their own organization, and a read-only public link lets a client see their summary without an account.

What does it actually cost to run?

One server that can hold Postgres, Redis and ClickHouse. Falorb is built for small-to-medium traffic and the ClickHouse configuration is tuned for a shared host rather than a dedicated machine, so a modest VPS is the realistic figure for a portfolio of sites. Add a transactional email provider if you want emailed alerts, which most have a free tier for.
