Pricing
Free to use
Every feature, every device, every session. No trial that expires, no card to enter, no seat count to negotiate. That is true today and it is not a launch promotion.
What you get, at no cost
Unlimited devices
Install the agent on as many machines as you look after. Nobody counts them, and adding the two hundredth costs what the first one did.
Unlimited sessions
No session timer, no daily cap, no interruption after five minutes asking whether this is commercial use.
The full audit trail
Every session recorded with who, what, when and for how long. Compliance features are not a paid tier — they are the point. Free accounts keep 30 days of history; longer retention is one of the things paid plans will add in 2028.
How this gets paid for
Software that is free with no explanation makes people uneasy, and they are right to be. So here is the plan in full, including the part where it stops being free for some people.

Free, and funded by us
Nelkira is built and run by Nelkira Technology Ltd., and for now we cover the cost of running it ourselves. Nothing is gated, nothing is counted, and no payment method is collected.
- NextJanuary 2027
Voluntary contributions open
A donation button, and nothing else changes. No feature moves behind it, no nag screen, no badge for donors and no reminder for everyone else. If Nelkira saves you a trip across the city, you will be able to put something toward the relay bill. If you do not, the product is identical.

Paid plans, for the organisations that need them
Priced to be more flexible than what the market offers today — the per-seat, per-year, renew-or-lose-access model is what people complain about, so it is the thing to do differently. The shape is not settled yet, and it will be published here well before anybody is asked to pay.
Personal use is free — using Nelkira for yourself, on your own devices or to help family and friends. Paid plans are meant for organisations, and will be about what an organisation needs: scale, support and longer records.
Nelkira Technology Ltd. reserves the right to change this pricing policy. Any change is published on this page before it takes effect; how changes work, and the notice you get before being charged, is set out in section 8 of the Terms of Service.
