There is no MageLift SaaS subscription, seat fee, or "contact sales" plan for the open-source CLI.

## Cloud spend (AWS or GCP bills you)

MageLift creates resources in your account. Typical costs:

| Item | Who bills you | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Compute, database, network, logs | AWS or GCP | Prefer free-tier-safe shapes for previews when you can |
| Managed search / brokers | AWS or GCP | Prefer `searchMode: disabled` and `queueMode: db` until you mean to spend |
| MageLift CLI / YAML | Nobody | Free open source |

Estimate AWS catalog shapes:

```sh
magelift cost --env preview
```

Destroy when done:

```sh
magelift destroy --env preview --yes
```
