Buf Plans Pricing

Buf's published plans for the Buf Schema Registry. Billing is per TYPE per month — a Protobuf-native meter, counting the types (messages, enums, services) stored in the registry rather than API calls or seats.

It defines 4 plans, covering free, usage, and custom tiers, with named plans including Community, Teams, Pro, Enterprise.

Tagged areas include Code Generation, gRPC, Kafka, Open Source, and Protocol Buffers.
