Plans
Lumin has four flat tiers. A tier caps the number of projects and services you run, and sets how long Lumin keeps your data. There is no per-gigabyte charge and no seat charge.
| Hobby | Solo | Team | Studio | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Price | €0 | €19 | €49 | €99 |
| Projects | 1 | 1 | 3 | Unlimited |
| Services | 1 | 5 | 15 | 50 |
| Retention | 7 days | 30 days | 30 days | 30 days |
| Alerts | — | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Support | — | — | Email, priority | Email, priority |
Prices are per month and exclude VAT. Logs, metrics, sessions from web and mobile, and uptime checks are on every tier, Hobby included.
An alert rule watches a metric or a log pattern. Slack is the delivery channel today. An uptime check shows its status on the dashboard, but it does not fire an alert yet.
Why services and not gigabytes
Section titled “Why services and not gigabytes”You can count your services today. Nobody can predict their log volume, and a cap you cannot predict turns a flat price back into a meter. So the tier caps the number you already know.
A service is one value of the service field on a log row, or one scrape target. The agent derives it from the container name, or from the lumin.service label if you set one — see Container labels.
Studio and client work
Section titled “Studio and client work”Studio is for an agency or a freelance operator who runs machines that belong to someone else. The shape is one project per client:
- A project is already the tenancy boundary, so one client’s data never reaches another’s. See Projects & API keys.
- Each client’s hosts run the agent with that project’s key.
- Each project gets its own Slack alert route.
- One bill covers every client.
What is enforced today
Section titled “What is enforced today”Billing is live: you subscribe to a paid tier and manage it under Account → Billing. On Lumin Cloud, the API enforces the tier:
- Projects. Project creation stops at the cap of your tier. If a downgrade or a cancellation leaves the workspace over the cap, the existing projects keep working — you only cannot create new ones.
- Retention. The retention window is the window of your tier. The sweeper removes older data automatically. See Retention.
- Alerts. On Hobby you cannot create or enable an alert rule, and existing rules stop evaluating.
- Services. Lumin counts the distinct services that sent data in the last 30 days, and shows the count under Account → Billing. The count warns when you are over your tier; it never blocks ingest.
A switch to a smaller tier runs a check first: the workspace must fit the project cap of the target tier, or the switch is refused with the reason. A move to Hobby is a cancellation at the period end, through the billing portal.
