Free tier FAQ

Is there a trial?

There's no trial because there's nothing to unlock. Every account gets the entire product — every feature, including Verified Backups — from the moment it's created. Your first 3 instances are free forever, so you can evaluate Sikurd for as long as you like on a real fleet.

No credit card required. Email verification is required (so we don't get bots).

What's in the free tier?

Everything. There is no feature gating anywhere in Sikurd — free accounts get health scoring, alerts, self-healing, Verified Backups, PSA integrations, white-label, SSO, AI Insights, AI Voice Studio, the mobile app, and unlimited users. The only limit is the instance count: your first 3 instances are $0, forever.

What happens when I connect a 4th instance?

The dashboard walks you through Stripe Checkout, and you're billed a flat $5 per instance per month — only for instances beyond the free 3. A 10-instance fleet is $35/month. Annual prepay is 2 months free.

Does the free tier ever expire?

No. It's permanent. You don't need to give us a card, there's no countdown, and no "upgrade" pressure. You can stay free as long as your fleet fits in 3 instances.

What if I drop back to 3 or fewer instances?

Your bill returns to $0 automatically at the end of the current paid period. No cancellation call, no data deleted — everything picks up exactly where you left off if you grow again later.
