Which Plan Is Right for You?
Solo devs and 2-person teams. Real functionality, not crippled. Works for homelab or small remote access setups.
Single user upgrade for $48/year. If you need more devices or subnet routing as an individual, this is the move.
Teams 3-25 users at $6/user/month. Adds ACLs, user roles, and log streaming. When your team grows past 3, start here.
Compliance controls, priority support, SAML SSO. At $18/user/month it competes with enterprise VPN pricing but is still simpler to operate.
