Plans - Free and Solo

What the Free and Solo plans include, what happens when you hit a Free limit, and what happens if a subscription ends.

StackHangar has two plans you can use today: Free and Solo. Pricing is per project, never per key or per agent.

Solo is one flat price. There are no per-seat, per-key or per-agent fees. A plan called Studio, for teams, is listed as coming soon and is not available.

#What each limit means

#Projects

On Free you can have 2 projects. Creating or restoring a third is refused with: The Free plan includes 2 projects. Upgrade to Solo in Settings → Plan for unlimited projects. In the import screens, New project… is disabled at the limit and the page tells you to upgrade or add to an existing project.

#Connected agents

Free includes 1 connected agent. Connecting a second shows: The Free plan includes 1 connected agent. Upgrade to Solo for unlimited agents. You can disconnect an agent on the Agents page to make room. On Free, only your first connected agent can propose a playbook or request a secret. See Agents.

#Sending values from your browser

On Free, playbook steps that send a new value to Vercel, GitHub or Netlify and redeploy are done by hand. The step says: Sending values and redeploying from your browser is part of Solo. Do this step by hand below. Approving a secret request that asks for automatic sending needs Solo too; on Free you set the value by hand from the guided step. See Deploy targets.

#Agent steps

Letting an agent run steps of an approved playbook needs Solo. On Free you do every step yourself.

#AI explanations

AI explanations are optional. On Free you get 20 a month. After that the app says You've used this month's 20 AI explanations on Free. Upgrade to Solo for 300 a month. On Solo the limit is 300 a month, and the message is You've used this month's 300 AI explanations. They reset on the 1st. An explanation never changes what a finding says; fixed rules decide that.

#Savings findings and the monthly estimate

Free shows plans, limits and renewal findings on your accounts. The three savings findings (unused, duplicate and overpriced plans) and the monthly estimate on the Costs page need Solo. On Free the page tells you how many savings findings are locked, such as 2 more savings findings are available with Solo, without showing which accounts or amounts. See Plans and costs.

#When you reach a limit

Where a Free limit stops you, the app shows a box with the limit, the price and an Upgrade to Solo, $99 a year button that opens payment on Stripe. Pay monthly or see plans opens the Plan card in Settings.

If you came from the StackHangar website by choosing Solo, sign up first and pay after setup. Home reminds you with You picked Solo and Finish upgrading until you pay or choose Dismiss. The Plan card offers Continue to payment or Not now. The choice is remembered in your browser for 7 days.

#Upgrade

See Billing. Payment is on Stripe. StackHangar shares only your email with Stripe, never anything from your vault.

#If a subscription ends

Nothing is locked away. Your vault stays readable and you can always export it. See Export your vault. The Free limits apply again:

  • Projects you already have stay, but you cannot create or restore another while you hold 2 or more.
  • Agents you already connected are not disconnected for you.
  • Sending from your browser, agent steps and the savings findings stop working.

Note

The StackHangar website says the vault becomes read-only after a plan lapses. The app itself keeps working for the things Free includes, as described above.
