Both versions of Dokploy are **functionally identical** — same deployment engine, same features, same Docker/Traefik integration, same API. The difference is purely operational: **who manages the Dokploy instance itself**.
Both versions of Dokploy share the same **deployment engine** — same Docker/Traefik integration, same API, same core features. The main difference is operational: **who manages the Dokploy instance itself**. On top of that, there are four editions with different limits and extras, summarized below.
## Same features, different operations
## Editions at a glance
Every feature available in Self-Hosted is also available in Cloud, and vice versa. This includes:
Dokploy comes in four editions: **Self-Hosted (OSS)**, **Cloud**, **Enterprise Self-Hosted**, and **Enterprise Cloud**.
- Application, Database, and Docker Compose deployments
- Git integration (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Gitea)
- Traefik reverse proxy with custom domains & SSL
- Remote servers and multi-server management
- Monitoring, notifications, backups, rollbacks
- Preview deployments, environments, templates
- API & CLI, schedule jobs, watch paths
- User permissions and all Enterprise features (SSO, custom roles, audit logs, whitelabeling)
| | Self-Hosted (OSS) | Cloud | Enterprise Self-Hosted | Enterprise Cloud |
|---|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|
| **Price** | Free | From $4.50/mo | License ([contact us](https://dokploy.com/contact)) | Custom |
| **Control plane** | You manage it | Managed by Dokploy | You manage it | Managed by Dokploy |
| **Updates** | Manual | Automatic | Manual | Automatic |
| **Core deployments** (apps, databases, Compose, domains, SSL, templates) | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| **Multi-server / remote servers** | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| **Basic roles** (Owner, Admin, Member) | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| **Custom roles** (granular permissions) | ❌ | Plan-dependent | ✅ | ✅ |
| **SSO (OIDC / SAML)** | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ | ✅ |
| **Application Authentication** (SSO gate for your apps) | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ | ✅ |
| **Audit logs** | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ | ✅ |
| **Whitelabeling** | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ | ❌ |
| **Concurrent builds per server** | Up to 2 | Managed | Unlimited | Managed |
| **Advanced monitoring dashboard** | Basic monitoring | ✅ | Basic monitoring | ✅ |
| **Support** | Community (Discord) | Email & Chat | Priority | Priority with SLA |
There are **no feature gates** between Cloud and Self-Hosted. The core product is the same.
<Callout type="info">
The core deployment experience is identical in every edition — the differences are in team/enterprise capabilities (SSO, custom roles, audit logs, whitelabeling), build concurrency, and who operates the control plane.
</Callout>
## Enterprise: Cloud vs Self-Hosted
There are **two ways to get Enterprise**, and they are not the same thing:
- **Enterprise Self-Hosted** — you run your own Dokploy instance and activate a [license key](/docs/core/enterprise/license-keys) issued by the Dokploy team. You keep full control of your infrastructure (including air-gapped setups) and unlock SSO, custom roles, audit logs, [Application Authentication](/docs/core/enterprise/sso/application-authentication), **whitelabeling**, and **unlimited concurrent builds** per server.
- **Enterprise Cloud** — the Dokploy team manages the control plane for you with a custom plan. You get the same enterprise capabilities (SSO, custom roles, audit logs, Application Authentication) plus managed uptime, automatic updates, and priority support with SLA.
<Callout type="info">
Both Enterprise flavors include **all upcoming Enterprise features**: every new Enterprise capability we release is automatically part of your license or plan, at no extra cost.
</Callout>
Key differences between the two Enterprise flavors:
| | Enterprise Self-Hosted | Enterprise Cloud |
|---|:---:|:---:|
| **Activation** | License key on your instance | Cloud subscription |
| **Control plane uptime & updates** | Your responsibility | Managed by Dokploy |
| **Whitelabeling** | ✅ | ❌ (control plane is shared infrastructure) |
| **Concurrent builds** | Unlimited, configured per server | Managed by the platform |
| **Air-gapped / private networks** | ✅ | ❌ |
| **Advanced monitoring dashboard** | Basic monitoring | ✅ |

## Two ways to get Enterprise
Enterprise comes in two flavors:
- **Enterprise Self-Hosted** — activate a [license key](/docs/core/enterprise/license-keys) on your own instance. Includes whitelabeling and unlimited [concurrent builds](/docs/core/concurrent-builds), and works in air-gapped environments.
- **Enterprise Cloud** — a custom Dokploy Cloud plan with the control plane managed by us, automatic updates, and priority support with SLA.
Both include SSO, custom roles, audit logs, and Application Authentication. See the full [edition comparison](/docs/core/differences#editions-at-a-glance) for the differences.
## What's included
- **Single Sign-On (SSO)** — Integrate with Auth0, Keycloak, or other OIDC/SAML providers.
- **Whitelabeling** — Rebrand the UI with your logo, colors, and domain (self-hosted only).
- **Custom Roles** — Create custom roles with granular permissions beyond the default Owner, Admin, and Member roles. [Read more →](/docs/core/enterprise/custom-roles)
- **Audit Logs** — Track every action performed by members in your organization for security and compliance. [Read more →](/docs/core/enterprise/audit-logs)
- **All upcoming Enterprise features** — every new Enterprise feature we ship is automatically included in your license or plan, at no extra cost.
More Enterprise features are on the way. [Contact us](https://dokploy.com/contact) if you want early access or have specific requirements.
