      "detail": "Ory offers a freemium model. Its open-source components are free to use for self-hosting under the Apache 2.0 license. The Ory Network, a fully-managed cloud service, uses a hybrid pricing model combining fixed-tier annual subscriptions (e.g., Production starting at $70/month or $770/year, Growth at $9,350/year) with usage-based metering on active Daily Active Users (aDAU), machine-to-machine (M2M) tokens, and permission checks. A free 'Developer' tier is available for evaluation and prototyping, including limited environments and community support. Enterprise plans (Ory Network Enterprise and Ory Enterprise License) are custom-priced and offer advanced features, SLAs, and premium support."
