Will I need to migrate my project?

Yes, eventually. There is no rush, but we are planning to build something better that you will be able to migrate to once it's available.

For our enterprise customers, we will help you move when that time comes.

Can I host my app elsewhere?

Yes. Payload remains a self-hosted solution, so you can bring your app to any hosting provider you prefer. Anywhere you can run a Next.js app, you can run Payload—plus Vercel offers a one-click hosting solution for Payload apps.

Will pricing change?

No pricing changes are currently planned for Cloud customers. If that ever changes, current customers will always receive advance notice so you can plan ahead with confidence.

Is Payload still open source?

Absolutely. Figma is committed to maintaining and investing in Payload's open source core, ensuring developers continue to have full transparency, flexibility, and control.
