Questions, answered.
Is Vaerune really a one-time purchase?
Yes. Buy Vaerune once and you own it forever, every future version, always updated, perpetual - no subscription required for the app itself. Vaerune has to keep up with games as they patch, so your updates never stop. It also comes with one month of Plus, free.
Do I need an account?
You get a free account with one-click sign-in via Discord, Google, Steam, or Apple, or classic email sign-in with a one-time code. You can add and launch your first server before signing in.
What is actually free?
Install as many games as you want. Free hosts one at a time, with the full find, install, update, and launch flow. Hosting multiple at once (and multi-instance) unlocks with Vaerune.
What does Plus add?
Odin, a browser page that connects to your desktop app so you can check on and control your servers from anywhere, plus mobile access. Plus also adds the full Vaerune Tunnel (joinable by anyone, no port forwarding), Discord and webhook alerts, and a connection check that tells you whether a reachability problem is your server or your network. Your servers still run on your own machine either way.
What does Pro add on top of Plus?
A custom name for your Vaerune Tunnel address, 15% off every rental, and your own Pro channel in our Discord (plus access to the Plus lounge).
Are my backups kept anywhere besides my own PC?
On Plus and Pro, yes. Every backup is also kept in the cloud - 5 GB on Plus, 25 GB on Pro - so you can restore on any PC signed into your account, even if the original PC is gone. Rentals are covered too: renting a server adds a 25 GB cloud allowance on top of your own, whatever your tier. Free and Vaerune (one-time purchase) backups on your own PC stay local to the machine that made them.
If I set up Vaerune on a new PC, do I lose my servers?
No. Your library follows your account: sign in on any PC and you'll see every server you own, including ones not installed on that machine yet - install them in one click from the setup Vaerune already remembers. This is free for everyone, no subscription required.
