@Chris Reuter If i setup prefect locally and use it. Is there any cost associated with it. I only have to pay when i use the prefect cloud, In the free plan is there any limit to the task or flows. Apart from the monitoring of jobs does prefect cloud provides any other features.

Hi @Laraib Siddiqui - there's no cost for using Prefect locally. You can deploy your own server with

prefect orion start

and monitor your flows/tasks locally if you'd like. Prefect Cloud is managed so you don't need to maintain your own infrastructure, maintain patching, security, etc for an orchestration server. With our free plan there's no task/flow limits right now. Both Prefect Cloud and the local UI give you monitoring/scheduling/managing Blocks/notifications. With Prefect Cloud you get things like automations, workspaces, the concepts of a 'user' including service accounts, roles, SSO and auth, audit log, etc. Check out https://docs.prefect.io/ui/cloud/, each of the features with a small Cloud next to it is unique to Prefect Cloud. Let me know if you're interested in chatting with anyone from the sales team, they're very knowledgeable around specifics with each of these features.
