Pricing v3, plans, packages, and debugging

Tailscale has introduced its third generation of pricing plans, expanding the Free plan to include three users and implementing usage-based billing for monthly paid plans to charge only for active users. These changes aim to reduce friction in transitioning from single-user to multi-user tailnets, a key growth point identified by Tailscale. The new structure is expected to lower costs for most users, with existing annual and enterprise plans remaining unaffected unless users opt into the new pricing. By focusing on user activation and retention, Tailscale aligns its incentives with customer success, ensuring they only pay for users actively benefiting from the service. Additionally, Tailscale has removed certain usage limits, such as those on subnet routers and admin accounts, to improve user experience and accommodate increased node creation. The company also outlines safeguards against unexpectedly high bills under the new usage-based billing model and continues to offer flexible billing options for different business needs.
