Yes, 100% free with no catches! PteroCA is released under the MIT open-source license - you can self-host it without any licensing fees, restrictions, or required subscriptions. There's no "freemium" model, trial limitations, or forced upgrades. We believe in open-source software and community-driven development. A future managed cloud hosting option will be available for those who prefer hosted solutions.

Unlike generic billing systems, PteroCA is purpose-built for Pterodactyl hosting with native integration, SSO authentication, and game server management. It's completely free, open-source with full code access, modern tech stack (Symfony PHP), and includes marketplace ecosystem. For Pterodactyl providers specifically, PteroCA offers better integration, lower costs, and hosting-focused features.

Absolutely! PteroCA is designed for white-labeling. Customize themes, branding, logos, colors, and domain completely. The MIT license allows commercial use without attribution requirements. Install custom themes from marketplace, modify CSS/templates, and create a unique brand identity. Your customers will see your brand, not "PteroCA" (though we appreciate optional credits!).
