ZeroTier

What it is for

ZeroTier is a hosted Member Devices desk: you authorize node rows, and Personal is Free (10 devices / 1 network on the pricing card). Essential is $18/month. Use it when the job is a member table you start at a public $, not when you need a $20 chat seat.

What makes it unique: the cover is ZeroTier’s official New Central Member Devices (Annapolis / my-first-network, Network ID 6722f92749d859c7, 2 total / 1 authorized, rows fc90c098ab Authorized 10.171.176.172 v1.16.0 + 19667f3e84 Not Authorized) from the Member Devices still on Network Groups and Networks — not a pricing card. The rows themselves are ops of Member Devices.

Key features

• Member Devices — authorize / deauthorize / reject nodes and read ZT IPs (cover still; docs). One desk. Cover fc90c098ab / 10.171.176.172 sit here. Authorize / Reject sit here as CTAs, not a sixth desk.
• Networks — the network list and Network ID you join (Create a Network; cover breadcrumb Default Network Group). A network, not a member IP.
• Settings / Flow Rules — access control and (on Scale) custom flow rules (cover Settings / Flow Rules tabs; pricing). A policy, not a Member row. Custom flow rules print on Scale.
• Organization / admins — who can edit networks (pricing Personal 1 admin; Essential 5; Scale 10). A seat list, not a device ID.
• Audit logs — 30-day logs on Essential, 90-day on Enterprise (pricing). A log, not a Member IP.

Authorize / Reject / Add Member Device on the cover are CTAs (not desks). Personal / Essential / Scale tiles are the meter. Extra devices at $2 / $1.80 and the AI agent toggle are the extra meter / AI extra, not a sixth desk we fold into Members.

Who it's for

Best fit: hobby / lab operators who will stay on Personal (Free, 10 devices, non-commercial) while they open a first Member Devices list, then Essential at $18/month when they need a commercial license and $2/extra device.
