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.
Beyond the included amounts, overages are billed per resource: $0.01/user/month, $0.001/API call, $0.10/GB storage, $0.05/GB bandwidth. No platform fee — ever.

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.
We host it · multi-tenant
Infrastructure and management included. Usage limits apply, with overages billed per resource beyond the free tier.
We operate it · your cloud account
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.
You (or a partner) operate it
Run our deployment recipes yourself — you manage your own infrastructure costs — or have a partner run it, with partner service fees varying by partner.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
No. Pricing is per block. Adopt one block or all 20+, on any deployment option, and only pay for what you actually use.
No credit card required. Add blocks as you need them, and take your data with you if you ever move off shared.
