Pricing

Simple, per-block pricing.

On July 31, 2026, every 23blocks block goes fully open source. The software is free — you only pay for running it: on our shared cloud, on your own cloud with us operating it, or self-hosted with our recipes.

How you run it

You pay to run the platform. You never pay for the software.

Every option runs the same open-source blocks, at the same feature set. What changes is who operates the infrastructure — and that's what the multiplier reflects.

Option A

Shared Cloud

We host it · multi-tenant

1.0×base block price

Infrastructure and management included. Usage limits apply, with overages billed per resource beyond the free tier.

  • No infrastructure to manage
  • Live in minutes
  • Usage limits, with overages
23blocks in a Box
Option B

Dedicated Cloud

We operate it · your cloud account

1.5×base block price

Plus your own AWS consumption costs and a 10% management fee. Unlimited usage, no shared-tenant caps. The 1.5× pays for us operating it — not the code.

  • Runs in your cloud account
  • Unlimited usage
  • 7–14 days to stand up
Option C

Self-Hosted

You (or a partner) operate it

1.5×base block price

Run our deployment recipes yourself — you manage your own infrastructure costs — or have a partner run it, with partner service fees varying by partner.

  • DIY or partner-managed
  • Unlimited usage
  • Partner setup: 2–4 weeks

Staging environments are available as an advanced add-on on own-account deployments (Options B and C) — a full, isolated copy of your blocks for testing before production, run by us or by your team. The Shared Platform is production-only.

The 1.5× multiplier on Dedicated Cloud and Self-Hosted is never a software license — the blocks are the same open-source code everywhere. It covers the operational work of a dedicated, single-tenant deployment: provisioning, monitoring, upgrades, and support.

FAQ

Pricing questions

Is there a free tier?

Yes. Shared Cloud includes 1,000 users, 100,000 API calls/month, 10GB storage, and 50GB bandwidth at no cost. Sign up free, no credit card required.

What happens when I scale past the free tier?

You stay on Shared Cloud and pay small overages: $0.01/user/month, $0.001/API call, $0.10/GB storage, $0.05/GB bandwidth. There is no platform fee — you only pay for the blocks you use plus usage above the included amounts.

Why does Dedicated Cloud and Self-Hosted cost 1.5×?

You never pay for the software — every block is open source and free either way. The 1.5× multiplier covers the operational work of a dedicated, single-tenant deployment: provisioning, monitoring, upgrades, and support, on top of your own infrastructure costs.

Can I leave?

Yes. You can graduate from Shared Cloud to your own infrastructure at any time, with your data, and no code rewrite. A real reference case moved 11 blocks across four consumer surfaces off shared, with zero traffic left behind after the migration.

Do I have to adopt the whole platform?

No. Pricing is per block. Adopt one block or all 20+, on any deployment option, and only pay for what you actually use.

Start free, pay only to run it

No credit card required. Add blocks as you need them, and take your data with you if you ever move off shared.
