Billing & Usage
On this page you can find information on managing your CrabNebula Cloud usage, fair-use policies, and invoices. Since June 19th, CrabNebula Cloud is free for everyone, with advanced features unlocked at no cost.
We removed the paywall so you can focus on building. For details on how this works and the limits that keep the system fast for everyone, read on.
Unlike before, there are no subscription plans to select. Every account automatically receives our top-tier features—including advanced insights and full DevTools access—starting immediately.
You only need to worry about billing if:
- You are a large-scale user whose traffic significantly exceeds standard patterns.
- You specifically request a custom enterprise arrangement.
If neither of these applies to you, you can skip straight to the Usage section below.
To ensure the platform remains fast and reliable for the entire Tauri community, we apply two simple fair-use rules. These are designed to prevent abuse, not to limit normal development work.
If your project is growing and you anticipate pushing past these standard limits, please contact us so we can work out a custom arrangement that fits your scale.
In the rare event that you exceed fair use, we won’t cut you off without warning. Our process is:
- Notification: We contact you to explain the traffic or storage anomaly.
- Discussion: We talk through your usage patterns.
- Resolution: We either adjust your specific case or move you to a tailored enterprise plan.
For 99% of users, these limits will never be an issue.
Since the service is free, most users will never see a billing page. However, if you have an existing paid account transitioning to the new model, or if you require a custom plan, here is how billing works.
You do not need to enter payment details to create an account, upload releases, or use DevTools. The barrier to entry has been removed.
Even though the service is free, you may still need invoices for internal accounting records or for custom enterprise arrangements.
- If you have a custom plan, all invoices will appear at the bottom of your dashboard.
- You can download them as PDF by clicking the button next to each entry.
No. On June 19th, all accounts were automatically upgraded to the free tier. Your existing subscription was cancelled on our end, and you will no longer be charged. Check your email for a final billing notification confirming this change.
Is the “Open Source Plan” still available?
Section titled “Is the “Open Source Plan” still available?”Yes, but in a different way. Previously, open-source projects could apply for special discounts. Now, everyone gets those benefits for free. You don’t need to apply; the plan is active by default.
What if I’m a huge company with millions of downloads?
Section titled “What if I’m a huge company with millions of downloads?”We love seeing Tauri scale! If your usage is far beyond typical developer needs (think millions of updates per day), please reach out via our contact form. We’d love to build a partnership that supports your specific infrastructure needs.
Absolutely. Whether you are a solo developer or a large team, our support channels remain open. If you encounter issues with your builds or the platform, just let us know.
