How much does Laravel cost?

Laravel publishes 3 tiers, from Free for Open Source up to $39/month for Laravel Vapor. The entry tier costs nothing.

What is the difference between Open Source and Laravel Forge on Laravel?

Laravel Forge costs $12/month against Free, and adds server management, deployment automation, ssl certificates, monitoring.

Is the Laravel Vapor plan on Laravel worth it?

That depends entirely on whether you need what it adds, which on the published record is serverless deployment, auto-scaling, aws integration, database management. It costs $39/month against $12/month for Laravel Forge. Softwr has not used either tier, so this page can tell you what changes, not whether it is worth the difference to you.

What am I actually paying for with Laravel?

The record lists 26 features across 6 areas: core, integrations, security, deployment, platform, localization. In practice it is brought in for web application development, api development, e-commerce platforms.

Does Laravel charge per user?

The record carries a price and a billing period for each of its 3 tiers, but not the unit that price is charged in. Per-seat and flat-rate billing look identical in this data, so check the vendor's page before budgeting for a team.

Are these Laravel prices current?

They are what the catalogue entry holds, refreshed when the entry is. Vendors change pricing without notice and nobody at Softwr re-verifies each tier by hand, so treat this as a structured summary and the vendor's own pricing page as the authority.

What should I compare Laravel against before paying?

Nothing else in this directory is filed close enough to Laravel to make a useful price comparison.

Laravel pricing

Laravel publishes 3 tiers. Below is each one, what it adds over the tier beneath it, and where the ladder stops being worth climbing for most people.

Entry price: Free
Model: Freemium
Tiers: 3
Free tier: Yes

Laravel plans, side by side

Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.

Laravel pricing tiers
Plan	Price	Features listed	Step up from the tier below
Open Source	Free	5	Entry tier
Laravel Forge	$12/month	4	+$12/month, 4 more features
Laravel Vapor	$39/month	4	+$27/month, 4 more features

What each tier adds

The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

People bring Laravel in for web application development, api development, e-commerce platforms, content management, enterprise applications. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Laravel are worth a look before you commit to a tier.

Before you pay for Laravel

Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.

What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 3 tiers between Free and $39/month, with the jump itemised above. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.

Laravel runs on web, cli, and is published by Laravel LLC of Global Open Source Project. The full record is on the Laravel review.
