Plan Selection

Now it’s time to choose your plan. There’s only two options: Hobby (free) and Scale (paid). Both plans pack the same powerful features, but the Hobby plan comes with more restricted usage limits. Don’t worry about commitment, you can change or upgrade your plan whenever you need to.

If you go with the Scale plan, you’ll be redirected over Phare’s payment processor, Stripe, to fill in your billing details. They will take good care of your payment information, and Phare will never see your credit card details. Stripe is a trusted payment processor used by some of the biggest companies in the world. They are PCI compliant and have a strong track record of security.

Project Creation

With your plan sorted, it’s time to create your first project! Think of projects as containers for organizing your resources. In Phare, everything lives either directly in your organization or within a project inside your organization.
Pro tip: To keep things tidy, try mirroring your organization’s actual structure in how you set up your projects. And remember, projects also control who can access what. So if something should only be visible to certain team members, give it its own project.
