## frequently asked questions
### why flat pricing?
Your API design and team size should not determine your registry bill. Paid plans include unlimited public and private modules without per-type or per-seat taxes. Team is one flat subscription per organisation.
### how does Protorip compare to Buf?
[Buf](https://buf.build/pricing) charges between $0.50 and $5.00 per private type per month, with Pro plans requiring a $3,000/month minimum commitment. As your schemas grow, a team with 300 private types pays $150/month on Buf Teams, scaling rapidly on larger architectures. Protorip Team is $49/month flat for your entire organisation with unlimited types and members. Protorip works directly with the buf CLI; check [compatibility](/compatibility) for supported workflows.
### what happens when we exceed the generation allowance?
Uncached remote generation allowances are monthly. Beyond the allowance, concurrency is throttled rather than adding surprise overage bills. Cached generations remain unlimited on paid plans. Solo includes 1 concurrent generation container; Team includes 5.
### is Protorip free for open source projects?
Yes. Eligible open source projects get unlimited public modules and unlimited members for free. Read the [OSS tier terms](/oss).
