What you actually get
After purchase you get an invite to the private GitHub repo and a one-command install script. Deploy on any Docker host in about five minutes: Hetzner, DigitalOcean, Fly, or bare metal. The platform runs alongside your existing apps, uses your own storage bucket, and sends every artifact through infrastructure you own. You can run multiple projects on a single install. No usage caps, no rate limits, no phone-home.
Common questions
Is this really a one-time price?
Yes. You pay once, own the source, deploy on your infrastructure forever. No renewals, no seat expansions, no metered API charges. If we ever add a hosted tier, this offering stays as it is.
What updates do I get?
Every future release of Prod0 lands in the same private GitHub repo you already have access to. Pull whenever you want to upgrade. There is no update expiration.
Can I run multiple apps on one install?
Yes. One Prod0 install manages any number of projects. Each project gets its own release pipeline, download page, and if licensed, its own set of license keys. No per-project charges.
Do I need Licensing?
Only if you sell your app and want device-locked license keys. Free or open-source apps can skip it. Licensing also runs standalone, so you can buy it on its own without Prod0 if you just need license key management. Add or upgrade later if you change your mind.
Why buy the bundle over Prod0 + Licensing separately?
The bundle gives you integration you don't get by installing them side by side: license checks on every download, a unified admin that shows releases and license keys per customer, and one service to install and upgrade. At launch pricing the bundle is $99 less than buying both separately ($499 + $199), and $600 off the regular bundle price.
What if I need help with the install?
The install script covers 99 percent of cases. If you hit something the docs do not cover, email us and we will get you unstuck. Post-install operations are your responsibility, same as any self-hosted software.
