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.
