Payload Pricing FAQ

How much does Payload cost?
Pricing is custom — you'll need to talk to their sales team for a quote.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The "Free" plan is free forever, not just a trial. You get completely open source, host yourself, community support. It's enough to evaluate the product before upgrading.
Can I try it before paying?
There's no trial per se, but the free plan lets you use the product indefinitely with some limits.
How does the pricing work?
It's a custom model split across 4 tiers. The more you need, the more you pay — pretty standard for this category.
