Idle endpoints incur no cost, random/ephemeral domains are excluded from this plan, and it's positioned for scenarios like secure ingress to customer networks, IoT/device connectivity, and rapid prototyping without long-term contracts. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How does ngrok's pay-as-you-go pricing plan charge customers? ngrok charges based on active endpoints, defined as the distinct number of TCP addresses or domains that transmit data through the service in a given month. Idle endpoints incur no cost, so agents deployed but not actively transmitting data are free. Random or ephemeral domains are not available under this plan, making it geared toward production rather than dynamic development use cases. _Teams weighing tunneling costs for production apps can track pricing model changes like this on daily.dev._ --- Tags: [#devops](https://daily.dev/tags/devops), [#devtools](https://daily.dev/tags/devtools) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/introducing-pay-as-you-go-pricing-for-ngrok-04s68dhmh) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Introducing Pay-as-you-go pricing for ngrok","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/introducing-pay-as-you-go-pricing-for-ngrok-04s68dhmh","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/introducing-pay-as-you-go-pricing-for-ngrok-04s68dhmh"},"datePublished":"2026-08-23T07:20:52.483Z","dateModified":"2026-08-23T07:28:24.657Z","description":"ngrok launched a Pay-as-you-go pricing plan aimed at production use cases, charging customers only for active endpoints (distinct TCP addresses or domains...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/09a7092b6fb9d814a5ec8063ada3e44e?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/09a7092b6fb9d814a5ec8063ada3e44e?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"ngrok Blog","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"ngrok Blog","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--718XXxvE--/f_auto,q_auto/v1787469610/logos/ngrok?_a=BAMAMicg0","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/ngrok"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/introducing-pay-as-you-go-pricing-for-ngrok-04s68dhmh","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"devops,devtools","timeRequired":"PT5M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"ngrok Blog","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/ngrok"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Introducing Pay-as-you-go pricing for ngrok"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/introducing-pay-as-you-go-pricing-for-ngrok-04s68dhmh#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"How does ngrok's pay-as-you-go pricing plan charge customers?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"ngrok charges based on active endpoints, defined as the distinct number of TCP addresses or domains that transmit data through the service in a given month.
