Pricing

Self-host free.
Hosted, pay once.

vibeTeX is open-source and free to self-host — with every feature. The hosted tier is a one-time €30 license for people who’d rather not run anything. It also sustains the project.

Questions

Why pay if it’s open-source?

You’re paying for hosting and maintenance, not features. Self-hosting gives you the exact same 26 tools for free, forever — the hosted tier just means you don’t have to run or update anything.

What does “pay once” mean?

It’s a one-time €30 purchase, not a recurring subscription. You receive a license key that’s valid for one year of the hosted connector. There’s no auto-renewal — buy again when (and only if) you want another year.

What data does the hosted server see?

Only your own Overleaf git token, used solely to talk to your own projects on your behalf. It’s held for the duration of your session and never stored beyond it. vibeTeX is a tool — your project content stays yours.

Is the free-tier session cookie supported here?

The experimental session-cookie tier is an unofficial, best-effort, ToS-grey feature you enable yourself by pasting your own cookie. It’s off by default and is independent of the hosted license — see the docs before using it.

How does billing work?

Checkout and the license key are handled by Polar as the merchant of record, so EU VAT and receipts are taken care of. You’ll get the key by email to paste when you connect.
