ngrok pricing

As of 31 August 2026, ngrok pricing is free across 4 published tiers. Figures are the vendor's list prices as recorded on this page's last check; the vendor's site is the final word.

ngrok 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.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | Free | 4 | Entry tier |
| Personal | On request | 3 | Priced on request |
| Pro | On request | 4 | Priced on request |
| Enterprise | On request | 3 | Priced on request |
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.

No paid tier on record
ngrok lists a free tier and no priced tier above it in the record we hold.
What the product covers
The full ngrok feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.
Other
- Outbound agent tunnels
- Static domains
- Traffic policy
- Request inspection
- Kubernetes ingress
- TCP and TLS endpoints
People bring ngrok in for receiving webhooks from a payment or messaging provider on a laptop during development, demonstrating a work in progress application to someone outside the network without deploying it, publishing a service inside a private network or kubernetes cluster without a public load balancer, giving a partner a temporary authenticated endpoint into an internal api. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to ngrok are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
How that compares in Networking
Too few networking tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.
| Tool | Entry price | Model | Rated | Head to head |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ngrok (this page) | Free | Per user per month | - | |
| MikroTik RouterOS | On request | One-time purchase, per licence level | - | vs ngrok |
| Cisco Meraki | On request | quote, hardware plus mandatory recurring licence | - | vs ngrok |
| PRTG Network Monitor | On request | Per sensor tier, billed monthly on an annual contract | - | vs ngrok |
| OpenVPN | Free | Open source core is free; Access Server billed per simultaneous connection | - | vs ngrok |
| Icinga | Free | Open source core, with paid repository, module and support subscriptions sold separately | - | vs ngrok |
| pfSense | Free | Open source Community Edition, free; commercial Plus edition sold separately by Netgate | - | vs ngrok |
Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the ngrok badges page.
Before you pay for ngrok
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: 4 tiers between Free and On request, 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.
ngrok runs on linux, macos, windows, docker, kubernetes, and is published by ngrok Inc of San Francisco, California, United States. The full record is on the ngrok review, and the rest of the category is under best networking tools.
