During beta

Hosted Harbor is free.

AI usage may be limited while we tune the product. You can bring your own AI provider key at any time.

After launch

Beta users keep free hosted access.

Legacy beta users keep hosted access forever. AI usage requires a paid plan after launch, but bring-your-own-key is always free.
