Free vs Premium at a glance

  • Free: full dashboard, 76+ templates, service discovery, Caddy + DNS + TLS automation, real-time monitoring, Prometheus metrics, multi-user with 2FA & RBAC, Security Center, AI Intent Router, MCP Server, JS SDK, backup/restore, and single-host operation.
  • Premium: everything in Free, plus Auto-Login SSO, Recipes, Docker Swarm, and Multi-Host Fleet Management — plus priority support.

Premium-gated features

  • Auto-Login SSO — single sign-on across services so authenticated users reach their apps without repeated logins. Ideal for teams that want a seamless internal portal experience.
  • Recipes — deploy multi-container application stacks (e.g. an app + database + cache) as a single coordinated unit. Recipes bundle several templates together with pre-wired networking so complex stacks come up in one click.
  • Docker Swarm — multi-node orchestration. Run services across a Swarm cluster instead of a single host, with DashCaddy managing placement, routing, and TLS across the cluster.
  • Multi-Host Fleet Management — manage DashCaddy deployments across multiple hosts from one control plane. Deploy, monitor, and operate services across an entire fleet with unified visibility.

Pricing

One Premium tier, subscription billing, no hidden upsells:

  • 1 month — $25
  • 3 months — $50
  • 6 months — $65
  • 12 months — $99

Longer commitments are rewarded: the 12-month plan works out to roughly $8.25/month versus $25/month for a single month.

Plan terms

  • Subscriptions only — no perpetual licenses.
  • One Premium tier (no tier ladder to navigate).
  • One active machine at a time per license.
  • 7-day grace period after expiry so services keep running while you renew.
  • Cancel at period end — no mid-cycle lock-in.
  • No free trial.

License validation

DashCaddy's licensing is built around an external validation and deactivation service, not unlimited static license reuse. On launch and periodically thereafter, the platform validates the license against the licensing server. This keeps licenses tied to a single active machine and supports clean deactivation when you move hosts.

How to subscribe

  1. Open the dashboard and go to Settings → Licensing.
  2. Choose a plan duration and complete checkout.
  3. Your license key is validated automatically — Premium features unlock immediately.
  4. Manage renewal, cancellation, and machine deactivation from the same panel.
