Bring your towel and join one of the fastest growing data communities. Welcome to our second-generation open source orchestration platform, a completely rethought approach to dataflow automation.

Prefect Community

Hi all, I'm new to Prefect and very confused at what products are free vs paid. Can someone explain? thanks

Hey <@U01783E41TM>, Prefect Server is the free version where you spin up the UI/Database/API on your own infrastructure (Docker compose or Kubernetes). Prefect Cloud is the managed version of this where you use our Cloud as the backend for your orchestration.

Prefect Cloud starts out with 10000 free task runs every month (only successful task runs billed), which is more than enough to get started with. And then with Prefect Cloud, there are some features that are offered in higher tiers such as flow concurrency limiting and task concurrency limiting, but the lowest tier covers most the orchestration needs of a lot of users already.
