Shorebird

The Shorebird Team

Today we’re announcing simplified pricing for Shorebird. We offer two plans: **Free** and a new **Pro** plan.

## Free

* Up to 5,000 patch installs per month
* Unlimited Apps
* 1 User

## Pro

* $20 per month
* Includes 50,000 patch installs per month
* Additional installs at $0.0004 per install, with configurable spending limit
* Unlimited Apps
* Unlimited Collaborators

Previously, Shorebird offered a variety of usage tiers. Customers told us this was confusing and harder to manage for apps with variable updating needs. So we’ve moved to a single, simpler paid plan to answer this need.

With Pro, your only commitment is to the $20 monthly platform fee, which includes 50,000 patches delivered. Use as much or as little beyond that as you want, and only get billed for what you use.

Customers can control their spending limit from the [Shorebird Console](https://console.shorebird.dev). Your spending limit defaults to $0 and we will automatically notify you via email once when you’re close to your limit and again when you’ve reached your limit.

Existing Shorebird customers with “Hobby” or “Teams” will see no changes. You can keep your plan as it exists today, or you’re welcome to transition to this new usage-based billing at any time on the [Shorebird Console](https://console.shorebird.dev).

We made a bunch of improvements behind the scenes to make this happen. If you have any questions about billing, or would like to purchase Shorebird in a different way, please don’t hesitate to reach out at <contact@shorebird.dev>.

  ### [Your CI shouldn't run on someone's personal key](/blog/service-accounts-for-ci)

  Service accounts give your release pipeline its own identity in your organization, with a fixed role and keys that keep working as your team changes. On GitHub Actions, you can drop the stored key entirely.
