## Hidden costs and limits

- Free tier was reduced from 25 devices to 10 devices and from unlimited networks to 1 network. Existing free users may have been grandfathered, but new signups get the reduced limits
- Network admin seats are limited per tier: 1 (Personal), 5 (Essential), 10 (Scale). Additional admin seats require upgrading to a higher tier, you cannot add admins a la carte
- Self-hosted controllers are possible (open source) but eliminate central management features, audit logging, and support. Running your own controller saves money but adds operational burden
- Audit logs are only available on Essential and above (30-day retention). Scale gets extended retention. Compliance-focused organizations may need Scale tier purely for audit requirements
- Bandwidth is not metered, but ZeroTier relies on peer-to-peer connections. If direct connections fail, traffic routes through ZeroTier relays, which may introduce latency and are capacity-limited on free/lower tiers
