Hosted vs self-hosted: what's different

Tradr is the same product whether you use the managed app or run your own instance. A small number of flows diverge, and this page is the map for them.

The admonition convention

Rather than duplicating pages, the docs mark divergent flows inline with one of two callouts. Both are thin wrappers over Starlight’s <Aside>:

Hosted only

Applies to app.tradr.cloud (the managed app): managed backups, wallet credits, billing, and feature gating.

Self-hosted

Applies to a self-run instance: you supply your own LLM key, and you run and back up your own database.

Use <HostedOnly> / <SelfHosted> from src/components/docs/ in any .mdx page where a step only applies to one deployment.

What differs

Area	Hosted (app.tradr.cloud)	Self-hosted
Backups	Managed, automatic	You run and restore your own
LLM access	Wallet credits (platform keys)	Bring your own key (BYOK)
Billing	Stripe wallet	None
Feature gating	On (plan limits apply)	Off by default
Migrations	Run for you	Auto-run on API startup
