Logto

fifty thousand users free, then metered on tokens rather than people

$24/mo (pro)#small-teams-who-want-an-#a-free-tier-that-actuall

the most generous published free tier here on a fully mpl-2.0 codebase, with a metering unit that quietly changes above it.

logto's free plan covers fifty thousand monthly active users, which lands this category's anchor exactly on the ceiling at $0. that is the most generous published free tier of anything ranked here, and unlike a trial it does not expire.

the whole codebase is mpl-2.0, confirmed against the licence text at github.com/logto-io/logto rather than the readme badge. mpl is file-level copyleft — modified mpl files stay mpl when distributed and binaries must make source available — which is a lighter obligation than agpl and a heavier one than mit. we found no open-core split.

the description above is ours, condensed from the ranking. pricing moves — check it on the vendor's own page before you rely on it.

our verdict

the most generous published free tier here on a fully mpl-2.0 codebase, with a metering unit that quietly changes above it.

we researched this category against vendors' own pricing pages and licence files. that is where this line comes from — not from the vendor, and not from anything they paid for.
