NetBird distributes its platform under open source licenses (BSD-3 and AGPLv3), enabling code review and self-hosting, and reports more than 28,800 GitHub stars. Its peer-to-peer WireGuard architecture removes VPN gateways, open ports, and complex firewall rules.
The company cites organic, product-led adoption by engineers and DevOps teams and positions European digital sovereignty as a differentiator. Named customers include Sport Alliance, netgo, Signicat, and VIEW Group.
NetBird prices NetBird Cloud on usage, charging per active user and machine. Tiers include a free plan for up to five users, Team at EUR 6 per user monthly, and Business at EUR 12, with extra machines at EUR 0.50 monthly.
Enterprise is custom-invoiced with priority support, custom SLAs, and DORA compliance support. Self-hosting is free under open source licenses, and a separate program serves managed service providers.
NetBird is an open source Zero Trust network security platform built on WireGuard that links remote users, devices, servers, and cloud resources into encrypted peer-to-peer networks. It replaces VPN gateways with identity-based access control and granular policies.
It runs on Linux, Windows, macOS, mobile, containers, and routers, and ships as managed NetBird Cloud or self-hosted under BSD-3 and AGPLv3 licenses, with SSO and MFA, posture checks, private DNS, activity logging, and API automation.
