# Pricing

> Compare CNAP plans, understand usage-based billing, and find the right tier for your workloads

CNAP offers a generous free tier and a Pro tier for larger workloads. Both tiers include the full platform with no feature gates — the difference is resource limits and machine lifetime.

## Plan comparison

Pro tier limits represent what's **included in your subscription**. Need more? Usage beyond the included amount is billed per resource.

<Info>
  All plans include the full CNAP platform: marketplace, products, private registries, custom dashboards, GitHub integration, CLI, and API access. There are no feature gates — only resource limits differ.

## Free tier

The free tier includes a managed cluster, a machine, and the full platform — enough to run a small production app, sell through the marketplace, and serve real customers. No credit card required.

**Machine lifetime:** CNAP-managed machines on the free tier are automatically deleted after 7 days. You'll receive [notifications](/platform/notifications) at 5 days, 2 days, and 24 hours before deletion. To remove the time limit, bring your own cloud key or upgrade to Pro.

## Pro tier

Pro includes more machines and higher resource limits, with no machine lifetime restriction. Usage beyond the included limits is billed per resource.

## Bring your own cloud key

Connect your own cloud provider API key (for example, a Hetzner Cloud token) and **compute quotas don't apply**. You pay the provider directly, CNAP manages the infrastructure — no machine, CPU, or memory limits. This works on every plan, including free.

Cluster quotas still apply since CNAP manages the control plane regardless of where your workers run.
