Free for six projects. $10 after that.
The Community plan is the full product, free and open source — the agent task board, runtimes, databases, HTTPS and tunnels. Pro removes the ceilings: unlimited projects, 250 MB attachments, your own domains and tunnels, and SSH links that hold.

Upgrade from PortBay → Settings → Account. Paddle handles checkout.

Exactly what $10 buys
No asterisks. This table mirrors the entitlement rules built into the app itself — Community is the everyday product, Pro removes the ceilings.
Pricing, in plain terms
Is PortBay's Community plan really free forever?
Yes. The Community plan is the full everyday product — the agent task board, HTTPS on .test domains, MySQL and PostgreSQL databases, mail capture, public Cloudflare tunnels and SSH tunnels. It runs up to 6 projects with a free account (3 without one), forever. Not a trial.
What does PortBay Pro add?
Pro is $10/month and removes the Community plan's ceilings: unlimited projects and sandboxed runs, 250 MB task attachments (up from 10 MB), a custom domain suffix, your own stable Cloudflare tunnel hostname, per-project CORS policies, hardened SSH tunnels (keep-alive, auto-reconnect, reverse tunnels, SOCKS proxy and multi-hop), end-to-end encrypted sync across two Macs, plus early access and priority support.
How do I upgrade to Pro?
Inside the app: open PortBay → Settings → Account and choose “Get Pro — $10/mo”. Checkout is handled by Paddle, our Merchant of Record, so your payment details never touch our servers.
What happens if I cancel Pro?
You can cancel anytime and Pro stays active until the end of the period you already paid for, with no further charges. After that the Community plan re-applies its 6-project cap — nothing else changes.
Do you offer refunds?
If you are in the EU or UK you have a 14-day right of withdrawal from the first purchase, no reason required. See the refund policy at portbay.app/refund for the details and how to request one.
Does the agent task board cost extra?
No. The task board you share with your AI agents ships in the Community plan. You bring the agents you already have installed — Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Cursor or Antigravity — and PortBay dispatches them locally.
