Self-hosting guide
FAQ

Questions, answered

Is OpenCIAM really free?

Yes. The core platform is Apache-2.0 licensed and free to self-host with no cap on monthly active users. You only pay if you choose our managed cloud or an enterprise agreement.

Do you charge per monthly active user?

Self-hosting has no MAU charge at all. Cloud is free up to 7,500 MAU and then scales with predictable usage-based pricing — no overage cliffs or feature paywalls on security basics.

Can I move from cloud to self-hosted later?

Always. It is the same engine and the same data model, with a documented export/import path. There is no lock-in by design.

Are MFA and SSO behind a paywall?

No. Unlike most incumbents, passkeys, MFA, and SSO are included in the free tier. Security shouldn't be an upsell.
