# Quick Start

> Get a managed OpenLegion fleet running in minutes

Sign up at [app.openlegion.ai](https://app.openlegion.ai) and get a dedicated agent fleet with zero infrastructure setup.

## Sign up and subscribe

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create an account">
    Go to [app.openlegion.ai](https://app.openlegion.ai) and sign in with **Google**, **GitHub**, or **Discord**. There is no email/password option.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a plan">
    After signing in, you'll see the pricing page. Pick the plan that fits your needs:

    | Plan        | Monthly  | Yearly     | Agents | Browsers | Projects |
    | ----------- | -------- | ---------- | ------ | -------- | -------- |
    | **Basic**   | \$19/mo  | \$170/yr   | 1      | 1        | 0        |
    | **Growth**  | \$59/mo  | \$530/yr   | 5      | 5        | 2        |
    | **Pro**     | \$149/mo | \$1,340/yr | 15     | 10       | 5        |
    | **Pro Max** | \$279/mo | \$2,510/yr | 30     | 30       | 10       |

    All plans include container-isolated execution, 100+ LLM providers via LiteLLM, a monitoring dashboard, a custom subdomain, and a built-in OpenLegion credit-backed default model. Yearly billing saves approximately 25%.

    <Note>
      **No free trial** — your card is charged immediately at checkout. Need higher limits, dedicated infra, or a custom contract? Email [admin@openlegion.ai](mailto:admin@openlegion.ai) for Enterprise pricing.
    </Note>

    Click **Get Started** on your chosen plan to complete checkout. Payments are processed by Polar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose your subdomain">
    After payment, you'll land on the setup page. Pick a subdomain for your fleet — this becomes your permanent URL:

    ```
    https://my-fleet.engine.openlegion.ai
    ```

    Subdomains must be 3-20 characters, start with a letter, end with a letter or number, contain only lowercase letters/numbers/hyphens, and cannot include consecutive hyphens. Reserved names (`api`, `admin`, `dashboard`, `www`, etc.) are blocked.

    Click **Launch My Server**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Wait for provisioning">
    Your dedicated server is being set up. The setup page shows live progress through four stages:

    1. **Creating your dedicated server** — a Hetzner Cloud VPS is provisioned (ARM preferred, x86 fallback)
    2. **Installing OpenLegion** — Docker, Caddy (auto-SSL via Let's Encrypt), the auth-gate sidecar, and the engine are installed
    3. **Configuring your instance** — your API keys are written and the agent fleet is started
    4. **Go live** — your instance is reachable on your subdomain

    Typical total: **\~5-12 minutes**. The page polls every 10s and updates automatically.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open your dashboard">
    Once provisioning completes, click **Open Dashboard** to single-sign-on into your fleet's engine dashboard. (Direct navigation to your subdomain requires an active engine session — always start from the app's "Open Dashboard" button.)

    From the engine dashboard you can:

    * Add or replace LLM provider keys (BYOK overlay on top of the OpenLegion-managed default)
    * Configure agents (instructions, soul, model, budget, thinking mode)
    * Connect messaging channels (Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Webhook)
    * Schedule cron jobs and heartbeats
    * Monitor costs and activity in real time

    The dashboard has four top-nav tabs: **Chat**, **Work**, **Team**, and **Settings** (with 11 sub-tabs).
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What happens next

Your fleet runs on a dedicated VPS at `{your-subdomain}.engine.openlegion.ai`. You manage it through the engine dashboard — the same interface available to self-hosted users.

The app at [app.openlegion.ai](https://app.openlegion.ai) handles your subscription, billing, and server lifecycle. Every configured managed instance is provisioned with OpenLegion's credit-backed proxy as the default model (`openlegion/openai/gpt-5.4`) so you can start chatting without bringing your own API key.
