## When it is useful

Develop, prototype, or test login/registration/recovery/permission flows locally — run Ory offline, no Network project yet, spin up Kratos/Keto/Hydra.

## The Catch

Loud: Network Developer Free $0 = PoC only (2 development envs, 0 prod/staging, 1 member). Production Network from ~$770/yr. Uncapped $0 = OSS self-host Apache-2.0 (Kratos/Keto/Hydra/Oathkeeper). Skills Apache-2.0 LICENSE 200. Aligns with Ory gem Evaluation framing. Distinct from Descope BD Cloud Free MAU. Ory gem already live.
