Where to Find CrowdSec Pricing and How to Get Started

Updated

CrowdSec publishes a dedicated pricing page at crowdsec.net/pricing, and the site's main navigation includes a Pricing link alongside Products, Solutions, Our Data, Resources, and Company. If you want to evaluate the blocklists before committing, the same navigation offers a Contact us entry and a Log in option for existing users. The homepage also invites visitors to "Contact us" specifically to see CrowdSec Blocklists in action, and to download the latest Vulnerability & Exploitation Report.

Finding Pricing

The pricing page is reachable from two places on the site:

  • The top navigation menu, where Pricing appears as a top-level item.
  • The direct URL: https://www.crowdsec.net/pricing

The site materials confirm that a pricing page exists and is linked from navigation. They do not list specific plan tiers, per-seat costs, or free-tier limits, so treat the pricing page itself as the authoritative source for current numbers rather than any summary.

Getting Started Paths

Depending on what you need, there are three entry points:

Goal Entry point What it gives you
See current plans and costs Pricing page Plan comparison and commercial details
Test blocklists against your environment Contact us A conversation to see CrowdSec Blocklists in action
Access an existing account Log in Account and console access

If your interest is technical validation rather than purchase, the Contact us route is the one the site explicitly frames around seeing the blocklists work. The Log in link is for users who already have an account.

What You Can Evaluate Before Buying

The homepage provides several concrete claims you can use to frame a trial or a conversation with the team:

  • Preemption window: CrowdSec says it adds malicious IPs to its blocklists 7 to 60 days ahead of others on the market.
  • Exclusive coverage: It states that 16% of proven aggressive IPs it preemptively blocks remain unknown to other vendors for at least 15 to 20 days, and that 50% of malicious IPs in its database are unknown to 89 of 92 threat intelligence vendors.
  • Exclusive data share: A quoted claim puts the high threat list at 36% exclusive information compared to all other CTI sources.
  • Operational outcomes: The site claims blocking up to 95% of mass exploitation attempts before they reach you, and reducing security alert volume by up to 80%.

Customer quotes on the page give a sense of real deployments: Crédit Mutuel's CERT head reports eliminating 40% to 50% of background noise and saving roughly two FTEs worth of incident response time; ScaleCommerce reports blocking about 95% of malicious bot traffic; and Le Monde's IT architecture lead highlights automatic upload of malicious IP lists to firewalls, removing manual IP checking.

Practical Notes

  • The site's own framing is "Plug N' Play with Immediate Benefits," but the materials do not describe installation steps, supported integrations, or deployment requirements in detail. For those, use the Products and Solutions sections or ask via the contact form.
  • Pricing signals on the page include the words "subscribe" and "pricing," and the pricing link is present — but no payment platforms or specific price points are listed in the available material. Do not assume a free tier or a no-login trial from what is shown.
  • The Vulnerability & Exploitation Report download is a low-commitment way to sample the kind of threat data CrowdSec produces before you talk to sales.

Bottom Line

Start at the Pricing page for commercial details, use Contact us if you want a hands-on look at the blocklists, and use Log in if you already have an account. The homepage claims — preemption windows, exclusive IP coverage, and alert-volume reduction — are the specific points worth verifying in that conversation.
