How does Alby make money?

To keep offering you our service and make it better, we need to cover some ongoing costs. This is why we've introduced a small service fee for hosting Alby Hub wallets. But no worries installing Alby Hub on your own server, desktop, Start9, Umbrel, Nodana.io or Casa OS is free. If you prefer more convenience you can choose Alby Cloud where you pay for hosting your Hub with a 30-day money back guarantee. The latest pricing plans and its features are available here. Alby does not charge any transaction fees for sending and receiving payments in Alby Hub. You’ll pay fees for sending transactions on the lightning network charged by routing nodes which are usually lower than in many other lightning wallets.

Why this is good for you:

• Better Service: This fee allows us to invest in advanced technology and services, ensuring your account is more reliable and secure.

• Future Growth: It helps us grow in a way that's sustainable, meaning we can introduce exciting new features and make continuous improvements.

Any fee or paid service we introduce is with the aim of maintaining and enhancing the quality you expect from us. Your satisfaction is our main focus. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please feel free to reach out.
