Pricing

Free to use. Free to run yourself.

The encryption is not the paid part and never will be. What a paid plan buys is the shape around it — vaults, an audit trail, the accounts that make a share attributable to somebody, and a way for someone outside to send a credential in.

01 / Plans

Four tiers, one security model

No plan weakens the guarantee. A paid share is encrypted exactly the same way a free one is, and the server can read neither.

No prices yet, on purpose.Only the Community tier exists today. The paid tiers are being built and priced, and putting a figure here before it has met a customer would make it a commitment rather than a plan — so ask, and you get the current thinking with its caveats attached. See the FAQ for what is actually available now.

Unlimitedusers, no seat ceiling

Annual contract, invoiced through procurement

Defined by the obligations we take on rather than by where it runs. Every tier is hosted, including this one — the difference is what we sign.

  • Everything in Business
  • Multi-year audit retention
  • SAML and SCIM against your identity provider
  • Data residency in a region you choose
  • Signed DPA and security-review support
  • Availability commitment
  • Invoiced procurement
Talk to us

Four things are settled even though the figures are not. Paid tiers are priced flat for the organisation rather than per seat, so adding an auditor or a contractor to a vault does not change the bill. The user counts are ceilings, not meters — nothing is billed by the secret, the recipient, or the message. Annual billing costs less than paying monthly. And a lapsed subscription drops an organisation back to Community rather than locking anyone out of a secret they have already stored.

02 / Self-hosting

The unpriced option

The backend is one Rust binary over a SQLite/libSQL file. There is no licence key and no phone-home, because there is no paid on-premises tier for one to police.

MPL-2.0, and what that means for you

Run it, modify it, and combine it with your own proprietary code — the licence permits all three, and there is no obligation triggered by running a modified copy as an internal service. What it asks is that changes to ravendrop's own files be published, so a modification to the cryptography cannot be made silently.

MPL-2.0

Docker, one command

A hardened, non-root image and a Compose stack with an ordered one-shot migration, a persistent volume, and a readiness check.

No cost

Your database, your region

Encrypted payloads and the control plane share one schema. Point it at a local file or a remote libSQL instance in whichever jurisdiction you have to answer to.

No cost

Same boundary as the hosted service

The HTTP security and network-access boundaries are shared code. Self-hosting does not mean running a weaker build.

No cost

What it does not come with

Accounts, vaults, SSO and the audit trail are hosted-only, and self-hosting is unsupported. If you need both your own hardware and the paid feature set, we are not the right answer — better to hear that here than after an evaluation.

Community only

03 / Never priced

Some things do not get a meter

Metering a security control puts a customer's instinct to control cost against their own posture. These stay in every tier, at any volume.

Second factors

A one-time code sent to an email recipient is mandatory and cannot be switched off. Billing per message would mean a customer trimming their invoice by trimming a second factor, so codes are bundled — or you bring your own provider and pay it directly.

Every tier

Audit-trail integrity

Hash chaining and signed checkpoints are how the log is worth reading at all. How long it is kept and where it can be streamed is what a tier buys; the record being tamper-evident is not.

Every tier

Getting your data out

Export is free on every tier, and security patches reach every deployment including the ones we do not run. Lock-in is a poor argument for a product bought on trust.
