Billing & plans
MZPanel is sold as a subscription. Your plan sets how many VPS and sites your workspace can manage and which features are unlocked; a wallet covers usage-based add-ons.
Plans & quotas
Section titled “Plans & quotas”| Plan | Price | VPS | Sites | Highlights |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 1 | 5 | Site CRUD, local backup, basic SSL, single user |
| Plus | $3/mo | 3 | 30 | + Offsite backup, + Cloudflare integration |
| Pro | $6/mo | 10 | 150 | + Multi-user share-host, + monitoring, + Docker apps |
| Max | $20/mo | 50 | 1,000 | + Priority support, + API access, + audit-log export |
The billing page shows quota bars for your current usage:
- VPS — counts active servers in the workspace. Deleting a server frees the slot immediately; a suspended or offline server still counts.
- Sites — counts every site across all your servers.
Hitting a quota stops new allocations (the agent connection is refused above the VPS quota; site creation is blocked above the site quota) — it never deletes what you already have. See Architecture for how enforcement happens when the agent connects.
Monthly vs annual
Section titled “Monthly vs annual”Pay monthly, or pay annually for −20%:
| Plan | Monthly | Annual |
|---|---|---|
| Plus | $3/mo | $28.80/yr |
| Pro | $6/mo | $57.60/yr |
| Max | $20/mo | $192/yr |
Wallet & top-up
Section titled “Wallet & top-up”Your workspace has a USD wallet. You top it up, and metered add-ons are drawn from the balance. The wallet keeps add-ons separate from your base subscription so you can pre-fund usage without changing plans.
Add-ons
Section titled “Add-ons”Paid add-ons (e.g. extra capacity or premium features beyond your plan) are charged from the wallet balance. They appear on the billing page with their unit price and are reflected in the ledger as they’re consumed.
Invoices & ledger
Section titled “Invoices & ledger”The billing page lists your invoices (one per billing cycle) and a running ledger of every charge, top-up, and add-on draw, so the wallet balance is always reconcilable.
Cancelling
Section titled “Cancelling”You can cancel from the billing page. On cancellation your workspace drops to the Free plan; resources above the Free quota stay in place but you won’t be able to add new ones until you’re back under the limit. Your VPS and sites keep running — cancellation only affects the control-plane subscription.
