Thinking about trying Hudu, or comparing plans before you commit? This article covers our free trial, the difference between self-hosted and hosted (Magic Cloud) deployments, current pricing, and answers to the most common billing questions.
New here? Start with Welcome to Hudu for an overview of the platform, then come back to plan your trial and pricing.
Free trial
Hudu offers a 14-day free trial for both our self-hosted and hosted solutions.
- Your trial environment is fully functional with no limitations on features, integrations, API setup, or the number of users allowed.
- If you decide to move forward with Hudu, your trial environment becomes your live version and retains all information entered during the trial. If you'd rather start fresh, just let us know.
- We recommend starting your trial on the hosting method you plan to stay on. Migrating between self-hosted and hosted later is possible, but a full migration incurs a one-time $199 migration fee.
- CSV migrations can be performed on your own at no extra cost, but they cannot migrate admin-level information.

Self-hosted vs. hosted
Both products share complete feature parity — the only real difference is who hosts your environment: you or us.
Self-hosted highlights
- All data is controlled by you. The only information sent to Hudu is the number of licensed users in your environment, for billing purposes.
- A completely custom domain.
- Control over downtime for your environment.
Hosted (Magic Cloud) highlights
- SOC 2 Type 2 compliant.
- Hudu maintains the environment for you — updates and backups are handled by our team.
- A subdomain of your choice (subject to availability); the hosted domain is always *.huducloud.com.
Hosted customers can also configure a built-in weekly export to S3. Visit Exporting Data for details on setting up automatic exports.
