## Questions: Pricing FAQ

### Do I really get all this software, for my whole team, at one price?

Yes. Every hosted plan includes unlimited users for every app. When your business grows, your software price stays the same.

### Can I upgrade my plan?

Yes, at any time. Hosted plans start with a 7-day free trial, so you can try everything before you pay.

### Can I use my own domain?

Yes. With your own domain, your email, shared documents, and video calls carry your own identity and branding. We recommend [Porkbun](https://porkbun.com/) if you need to buy one.

### Where is everything hosted?

You choose. We host your Federated Core in partner datacenters in North America, Europe, and Asia. If you have specific location requirements, just ask us.

### Is my data backed up?

Yes. Hosted plans are backed up with Backblaze to secure datacenters separate from where your Federated Core runs. Self-hosted installations can add backups for $15/month.

### Is it really 100% private?

Yes. Nothing about your data storage is shared with other customers. Federated can't see your data unless you give us explicit access, normally for a support request. We can't and won't share it with advertisers or use it to train AI.

### What if I want to leave later?

Everything is open-source, with open data formats for import and export. Take your data, host it yourself, or move to another provider. You're never locked in.

## Not sure which plan fits?
