Pricing

How pricing works

Events are the heart of Telesink. Every time you send something to us, a signup, a payment, a trial start, an upgrade, a cancellation, or any custom product event, it counts as one event.

Sinks are your live dashboards. These are the customizable multi-column views where you actually watch your product breathing in real time.

Hosted Telesink is free during beta. The planned hosted price is shown on this page now, so there are no surprises when billing starts later.

Beta users will get advance notice before paid plans launch. You can leave anytime.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as an event?

Any action you deliberately send to Telesink. Common examples include a user signing up, a payment succeeding or failing, a trial starting, a subscription changing, or any custom product event you define (such as “trial started” or “MRR crossed $10k”).

If you send it through our SDK, REST API, or webhook integration, it counts as one event.

What if I exceed my monthly event limit?

We don’t surprise you with extra charges. During beta, you’ll get a friendly notice if you’re approaching the hosted limit. After paid plans launch, new events can be queued and delivered once you upgrade or your next billing cycle begins. No hidden fees, ever.

Is there a free plan?

The self-hosted version is completely free and unlimited forever (AGPLv3). Hosted Telesink is free during beta. Paid hosted plans are planned later, starting around $19/month. Beta users will get advance notice before billing starts.

Any AI features?

Not at the moment. We’re focused on keeping Telesink simple and reliable. We’re happy to consider AI features in the future, but only if they’re genuinely useful and don’t add unnecessary complexity.

How does the beta work?

You don't need to choose a plan to start. Sign up, connect your app, and use Telesink for free while the hosted product is in beta. When paid plans launch, you'll be asked to choose a plan before billing begins or before continuing to send new events. No credit card required.

Can I change or cancel my plan anytime?

Once paid plans launch, yes. Upgrade, downgrade, or cancel whenever you want. We automatically prorate the difference so you only pay for what you used. No questions asked. No cancellation fees.

Self-host vs hosted: which should I choose?

Self-host if you want full control, zero ongoing cost, and don’t mind managing your own server. Ideal for open-source enthusiasts and companies with strict data requirements.

Hosted if you want zero infrastructure work, automatic updates, and the simplest possible experience. Most people start here.

Do you offer refunds?

Yes. During beta you can cancel anytime and you won't be charged anything. Once paid plans launch, if you're not happy within the first 30 days of your paid subscription, just email us and we'll refund you in full. After that, you can still cancel anytime and keep access until the end of your current billing period.

Are taxes included in the price?

No. Any taxes we collect (such as VAT or sales tax) are added on top of the stated prices.

Do you bill in local currencies?

We currently bill only in USD.

In the meantime, the self-hosted version is completely free and works great as an alternative.
