Public paid path for [[project-clickhouse-monitoring]] is **self-hosted host-count licenses** (yearly or lifetime), honor system — not hosted SaaS seats. Replicas in the same shard are **not counted**.

Cloud demo remains `dash.chmonitor.dev`. OSS self-host stays the default for enterprises (IP allowlists, no metadata leaving the VPC).

**Why:** agents should not design “SaaS seats” as the paid SKU.
**How to apply:** talk about host-count licenses + trust model; replicas are free.
