Free pricing plans and discounts

Tailscale offers several free plans and discounted pricing options to support individuals, open source projects, and eligible organizations. For an overview of Tailscale's pricing plans, including paid plans, refer to our Pricing page.

Personal plan

The Personal plan permits 6 free users in a single Tailscale network, known as a tailnet. You can also share devices with other users with node sharing. For more information on what is included in the Personal plan, refer to our Pricing page.

Community on GitHub

Your GitHub organization can use Tailscale for free if you're using it for an open source project which has an OSI license.

Consider using this plan when you need the following:

• Access a shared build tool.
• Access an internal test server for a given platform.
• Share project resources with other developers.

To use this pricing plan, you must be using GitHub for authentication. For more information about this plan, contact Tailscale Support.

Promo codes

Promo codes can be applied when upgrading to a new paid plan, or you can apply one to your existing paid plan in the Billing page of the admin console.
