Pay only for what you use

Ditch high upfront costs and pay only for active endpoints and successful API calls. Scale your costs in line with your API traffic growth.

How it works

ngrok operates a global network where it accepts traffic to your upstream services from clients.

Clients connect to your endpoints (URLs). You configure policies such as authentication or transformation. Unlike traditional proxies, ngrok doesn't rely on IP forwarding. Instead, you run a lightweight agent that connects securely to ngrok's network. Traffic flows through this secure connection to your service.

With ngrok, we get comprehensive security with a full scope of functionality for all of our use cases.
