Mend app VS self hosting (pricing, data retention etc) #29598
-
What would you like help with?Other How are you running Renovate?None If you're self-hosting Renovate, tell us which platform (GitHub, GitLab, etc) and which version of Renovate.No response Please tell us more about your question or problemHi! Could you perhaps help me out/elaborate things for me a bit. I am interested in automating dependency updates for my repositories on Bitbucket Cloud and came upon Mend/Renovate. Now my confusion lies in the following: Your readme says When I navigated to your pricing page then I see large amounts being charged for it but again, here you mention a free plan. What is the difference between self-hosting, the free app and the paid app?
Just to specify - I am not interested on using it on my personal repositories but work ones so how the data is handle is quite important. Thank you! |

For Bitbucket Cloud, we recommend you install the hosted Mend app and select the free Renovate plan.
Renovate is free for the hosted apps (github.com, Bitbucket cloud)
In self-hosting you host and you need to pay for compute and monitor it. In the app it's hosted by Mend. The free plan includes Renovate only. The paid plan in the app includes AppSec capabilities such as OSS security and licensing compliance, first party code scanning, etc.
I'm going to assume for now that you'll use the free plan. We have security description here which includes some specifics on the app: https://docs.renovatebot.com/security-and-permissions/ If you need more details than that, then you sound like the person who needs a paid app. We don't heavily push it, but you'd be most welcomed by the Mend.io sales team if you'd like to make an inquiry. We can't spend time answering questions like these from every free user or we couldn't afford to run the service.
Right now there isn't much in the way of limits other than that it's Renovate only. Towards end of year we'll likely have some tiered plans for those who need e.g. concurrent jobs on multiple repositories, or faster machines than we have currently.
Read the docs, and you're on your own. |
