Questions
The useful details.
Is Free really account-free?
Yes. Free connects directly to Redis or Valkey without an account. It includes one saved connection, one active connection, the key browser, search, editing, and server information.
Is Personal a subscription?
No. Personal is a paid perpetual licence. A purchase includes one year of new Varc builds, and every build released during that update period remains yours to use. Renew when you want newer builds.
How much do paid licences cost?
Personal is $99 one-time, Pro is $249 one-time, and Team is $399 per seat with a two-seat minimum. Each purchase includes one year of new builds; covered builds remain usable forever.
What does BYOK mean for the AI assistant?
Bring your own key. Personal, Pro, and Team can connect a supported AI provider using credentials you control. Pro and Team also include a Varc-hosted usage allowance.
Which databases and topologies are supported?
Every plan supports Redis and Valkey across standalone, Sentinel, and Cluster deployments, including SSH, TLS, and mTLS connections.
What is included with Cloud KV?
Cloud KV is a Pro and Team capability with a 50 MB hard cap per database. Pro currently includes three databases; the Team database allowance is still to be decided.
