New Usage-Based Pricing Model: ZeroTier Essential

ZeroTier just changed their pricing model, and their free Basic tier reduces the number of includes devices from 25 to 10 [1] (their Pricing page [2] still says 25, but I assume that’s a typo). Exactly two years ago they went from 50 free devices to 25 [3], so I guess it’s a trend.

According to their blog post, “current entitlements for our existing free users will remain unchanged”, but I wonder, as I am blocked from accessing the dashboard [4] by a screen that forces me to choose between Basic (free, 10 devices) and Essential ($2 per device after 10th).

This follows the recent news of ZeroTier having just raised $13.5M [5].
