- Free allowance
- Free for up to 5 users and 20 workspaces; the free edition is self-hosted, so storage is bounded by the machine the user runs the server on ('no limitations on storage no matter which plan you’re on')
- Verdict
- self-hosted, last resortverdict fails-quota: the free allowance is too small to matter. Self-hosted options are listed last, because this site is for users who have no hardware.

| Evidence note | documented documented: the pages read on 2026-11-03 are two vendor pages. https://www.perforce.com/products/p4/free-version-control states that P4 is free for up to 5 users and 20 workspaces and can be deployed in the cloud or on-premises. https://www.perforce.com/products/p4/pricing states that the free version is a self-hosted solution with no limitations on storage, whichever plan. The user and workspace caps and the absence of a storage limit, which decide the verdict, rest on those pages; the identity kind and the interface are not stated on them (the record's own text marks them defaulted). |
