Three plans. Zero subscriptions.
Pay once. Every plan ships with the full StackPilot App engine. Higher tiers raise scale - more servers, devices, and sites. New capabilities arrive as optional add-ons.
Every account starts with 14 days on Pro. Verify your email and you get the Pro tier, five servers, for two weeks. No card, and nothing charges automatically when it ends. What happens when it ends.

Included in every plan.
Same core app in every tier. Tiers raise scale; extra capability comes via optional add-ons.
Lifetime app usage
Pay once. Use the version you bought, forever. No subscription pressure.
2 years security updates
Patches and OS-compat updates for two years from purchase. Renewable.
Unlimited sites
No cap on the number of apps you deploy per server. Limit's on servers.
No hidden fees
Sticker price is checkout price (plus tax). Agent add-on is the only extra and it's labelled.
Supported Linux distros.
Tested and supported targets. Other distros likely work - but these are guaranteed.
A model that
doesn't need a subscription.
StackPilot App runs entirely on your machine. We don't host your deployment logic, we don't run servers that store your SSH keys, we don't proxy your commands. That means our cost-per-customer is effectively zero - so we don't need to bill you monthly.
- No infrastructure tax. You bring your own servers. We don't mark up your hosting bill.
- Local execution. Code runs on your laptop. Our overhead is the build pipeline and the docs site.
- No churn games. We don't optimise for "are you still using it?" emails. Use it. Don't. Either is fine.
Our commitment
A lifetime licence is a partnership, not a transaction. Here's what you get in return:
Security & compatibility
Ongoing updates so StackPilot App keeps working with new OS, PHP, Node, and SSH protocol versions.
Long-term roadmap
We've been shipping developer tools for years. StackPilot App is the flagship - we're in for the long haul.
Honest sunset policy
If we ever can't continue, we publish the offline-validation key. Your purchased version keeps working.
14-day refund policy.
If StackPilot App isn't the right fit, contact us within 14 days of purchase and we'll refund you.* We respond within 14 days; the full process takes up to 28 days from purchase.
* Refunds are issued net of the non-refundable payment-processor fee charged on your original transaction — a few dollars on a typical purchase. See the full policy for details.
GST, VAT, and where they apply.
Sticker prices are pre-tax. The right tax for your billing country is calculated and added at checkout - final amount is shown before you confirm payment.
18% GST added at checkout. Hayanlabs is GST-registered (GSTIN 36AATFH2428J1Z0) - you receive a compliant tax invoice eligible for input credit.
VAT added at checkout at your billing country's rate. Valid VAT IDs are accepted for B2B reverse-charge.
You pay the listed price. Where local withholding or sales tax applies, Razorpay / PayPal handle it automatically at checkout.
Common questions.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Verify your email and you get 14 days on the Pro tier, five servers, with no card and nothing charged. Read the trial terms
What happens when the free trial ends?
StackPilot App stops working until you buy a licence: you are returned to the licence screen and cannot manage servers through the app. Your servers are untouched and still reachable over SSH, and your keys stay in your keychain the whole time. What happens when the trial ends
Is this a monthly subscription?
No. One-time purchase. Use it indefinitely. No recurring fees.
Can I upgrade my plan later?
Yes. Email us and we'll process the upgrade for you manually. Self-serve upgrades are on the roadmap.
What does the "devices" limit mean?
Devices is how many machines have StackPilot App active at once. Your work Mac plus your home laptop = 2 devices. It's not a team-seat concept.
Are taxes included?
Prices are pre-tax. India: 18% GST is added at checkout (Hayanlabs is GST-registered - you get a compliant invoice for input credit). EU & UK: VAT is added at your billing country's rate; valid VAT IDs are accepted for B2B reverse-charge. Rest of world: you pay the listed price unless local withholding applies, which Razorpay/PayPal handle automatically. The final amount including tax is shown before you confirm payment.
Do you offer plans for larger fleets?
Power covers 10 servers. If you need 25, 50, or more — email us and we'll work something out.
Is server hosting included in the price?
No. You bring your own VPS (DigitalOcean, Hetzner, AWS, Vultr, your own metal - anything that speaks SSH and runs Ubuntu/Debian) and pay your provider directly. StackPilot App is a one-time licence for the tool that manages those servers. Hosting is always separate.
Do you offer 24/7 support?
No, we don't run a round-the-clock support desk. Email contact@stackpilotapp.com and one of us (a human, not a bot) gets back to you - typically within a business day, often faster. We'll always do our best to respond as quickly as we can.
What if I run into trouble?
Email contact@stackpilotapp.com. A human (one of us) responds and helps you fix it.
