Free forever for local analysis.
SimTelemetry is built so you can record, inspect, and compare your laps locally without paying. Cloud features stay limited on the free plan, and upgrading later mainly helps support the project and unlock more online usage.
Local Plan
Free Forever
This is the core of SimTelemetry and it stays free. If all you want is to record your sessions and analyze them on your own machine, you do not need to pay.
Cloud Plan
Upgrade If You Need It
Cloud sync, AI analysis, and AI copilot chat are the expensive parts. The free tier keeps those features limited. If you want more laps in the cloud, more advanced analysis, and more AI usage, there will be a paid upgrade.
SimTelemetry is currently maintained by one person. So if you choose to upgrade later, you are not just buying cloud usage, you are helping keep the project alive and moving.
What this means in practice
Just want local telemetry?
Use SimTelemetry forever without paying. Record locally, compare laps, and review everything on your PC.
Want some cloud features?
The free tier will still let you try syncing, AI analysis, and public sharing, just with limits.
Need more?
Upgrade once you actually need more cloud volume. No need to pay before the product proves useful for you.
