Ory 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Developer | Free | 2 | Entry tier |
| Production | $64/month | 4 | +$64/month, 4 more features |
| Growth | $779/month | 4 | +$715/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.

What the product covers
The full Ory 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.
core
- Authentication APIs
- Machine-to-machine tokens
- B2B organizations
security
- Permissions engine
- SAML SSO
integration
- Multi-region deployments
People bring Ory in for adding self-hosted or cloud identity to a new product, implementing fine-grained permission checks, supporting b2b organizations and multi-tenancy, building machine-to-machine authentication for microservices. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Ory are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
Before you pay for Ory
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 $779/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.
Ory runs on web, api, and is published by Ory. The full record is on the Ory review.
Ory pricing questions
- How much does Ory cost?

- Production costs $64/month against Free, and adds $21 monthly credit included, 1 production environment, 3 staging environments, $0.14 per adau/month.
- Is the Growth plan on Ory worth it?
- That depends entirely on whether you need what it adds, which on the published record is $255 monthly credit included, 2 production environments, b2b organizations (max 3), standard premium support. It costs $779/month against $64/month for Production. 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 Ory?
- The record lists 6 features across 3 areas: core, security, integration. In practice it is brought in for adding self-hosted or cloud identity to a new product, implementing fine-grained permission checks, supporting b2b organizations and multi-tenancy.
- Does Ory 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 Ory 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 Ory against before paying?
- Nothing else in this directory is filed close enough to Ory to make a useful price comparison.
