name: Verdaccio Plans & Pricing
description: Verdaccio is a fully open-source project released under the MIT license with no commercial pricing tiers or SaaS offering. The software is free to download, self-host, and use without restriction. Community sustainability is funded through voluntary donations and sponsorships via OpenCollective. Organizations wishing to use Verdaccio in production deploy it on their own infrastructure (bare metal, VMs, Docker, Kubernetes) and bear the cost of that infrastructure rather than paying Verdaccio directly.
