Questions

Why pay if it’s open-source?

You are paying for hosting and maintenance. Self-hosting gives you the same 26 tools for free; the hosted tier means you do not have to run or update anything.

What does “pay once” mean?

It is a one-time €30 purchase. You receive a license key that is valid for one year of the hosted connector. There is no subscription and no auto-renewal; buy again if you want another year.

What data does the hosted server see?

Only your own Overleaf git token, used to talk to your own projects on your behalf. It is held for the duration of your session and is not stored beyond it. Your project content stays yours.

Is the free-tier session cookie supported here?

The experimental session-cookie tier is an unofficial, best-effort feature in a grey area under Overleaf’s terms. You enable it yourself by pasting your own cookie. It is off by default and is independent of the hosted license; see the docs before using it.

How does billing work?

Checkout and the license key are handled by Polar as the merchant of record, so EU VAT and receipts are taken care of. You’ll get the key by email to paste when you connect.
