Free to Use. No Account. No Catch.
The FREEPTT public network is free — install the app and you're on. No registration, no credit card, no trial that expires. Usage is subject to a monthly allowance suited to typical individual and small-team use. For your own dedicated operator system with your own CA and servers, see Operator Licensing below — that is a separate product.
Public Network — Connect and Go
Two tiers. Only one is available at launch.
FREE — Available Now
$0 / month — forever
No account. No credit card. No sign-up of any kind.
- Unlimited devices (subject to monthly usage allowance per device)
- Full feature access — open and encrypted channels, private calls, scanning
- Multi-system support
- Hardware PTT button support where supported
Allowance is measured by connected time and voice data; limits will be published as finalized. Devices that exceed the allowance may be rate-limited until the next period.
STANDARD — Coming Soon
Usage-based billing — requires an account
For unlimited usage beyond the free allowance, STANDARD will require an account used only to associate device DNIs with billing — it does not change how authentication or encryption works.
- Unlimited connected time and voice usage
- Device management portal
- Usage dashboard and invoices
- Email support
Estimated formula (indicative): monthly charge = (active devices × base fee) + (device-minutes × rate) + (voice egress × rate).
