## frequently asked questions
### how does Protorip compare to the Buf Schema Registry (BSR)?
[Buf](https://buf.build/pricing) charges $0.50 per private Protobuf type (messages, enums, RPCs) per month on Teams, and $5.00/type/month on Pro ($3,000/month minimum). A team with 300 private types pays $150/month on Buf Teams, and the bill grows whenever you add messages or RPCs. Protorip Team is $49/month flat for your entire organisation with unlimited types, private modules, and members. See the [Protorip vs buf.build BSR comparison](/compare/buf)for differences beyond pricing.
### what are the fair-use limits for remote code generation?
All plans include unlimited cached remote generations. Uncached executions (when your schemas or plugin options change) run under fair-use policies with no overage fees or hard monthly cutoffs, sized for individual workflows on Solo and multi-developer CI on Team.
Free and anonymous usage include a small rolling hourly allowance for evaluating workflows. Paid and OSS plans also apply conservative rolling hourly limits strictly to prevent runaway CI loops; if a fair-use control ever blocks a legitimate workflow, email [hello@protos.rip](mailto:hello@protos.rip). See [remote generation](/remote-generation#rate-limits-and-concurrency) for technical details.
### is Protorip free for open source projects?
Yes. Eligible open source projects get an organisation with unlimited public modules and unlimited members for free, with the same remote generation capacity as Team. Read the [OSS tier terms](/oss).
