Deploy PenPot Without Limits: Your Workflows, Your Server, Your Rules

PenPot is an open-source design and prototyping platform that allows teams to collaborate on design projects. It’s a powerful alternative to tools like Figma or Adobe XD.

Self-hosting PenPot gives you several advantages:

Complete data ownership – Your design files and assets remain on your servers

No user limits – Invite unlimited team members without extra costs

Custom control – Configure and customize PenPot to your exact needsPrivacy compliance – Meet strict data governance requirements more easily

With KloudBean, you get all these benefits without the usual complexity of self-hosting.

KloudBean simplifies the entire PenPot deployment process:

1. Sign up for a KloudBean account
2. Select PenPot from our app marketplace
3. Choose your server resources (RAM, CPU, storage)
4. Click “Deploy” and wait approximately 2 minutes

That’s it! No configuration files, no command line, no DevOps expertise required. Your PenPot instance will be up and running with a secure HTTPS connection and all dependencies properly configured.

You can immediately start inviting team members and creating design projects.

With KloudBean, you only pay for the server resources you use – not per user or feature.

A typical PenPot deployment starts at just $8/month for unlimited users. This includes:

• 1GB RAM
• 1 vCPU
• 25GB SSD storage
• Unlimited bandwidth
• Free SSL certificate
• Automated backups

For larger teams or more resource-intensive usage, you can easily scale up to $48/month (4GB RAM) or $96/month (8GB RAM) plans.

Compare this to SaaS alternatives that typically charge $12-15 per user per month, which quickly adds up for teams of 5+ people.

No technical expertise is required. KloudBean handles all the complex maintenance tasks:

• One-click updates – Keep PenPot updated to the latest version with a single click
• Automated backups – Daily backups of your entire PenPot instance
• Security patches – Server-level security is handled automatically
• Monitoring – Performance monitoring and alerts are built-in

You’ll get a simple dashboard to manage your PenPot instance, including options to restart services, view logs, and manage resources without needing to use command line tools or understand server configuration.

Both options provide the full PenPot experience, but there are key differences:

PenPot on KloudBean:

• Complete data ownership and privacy
• Fixed pricing regardless of team size
• Custom domain support included
• Ability to modify and customize your instance
• No storage or user limits (beyond server resources)
• Can run alongside other apps on the same server

Official PenPot Cloud:

• Managed by the PenPot team
• Per-user pricing model
• Pre-configured with standard settings
• Storage limits based on subscription tier
• May include early access to new features

KloudBean gives you the best of both worlds: the freedom and cost-effectiveness of self-hosting with the ease-of-use of a cloud service.

Yes, KloudBean makes migrations simple:

From PenPot Cloud or other self-hosted PenPot: You can export your projects from your current PenPot instance and import them directly into your KloudBean-hosted PenPot. We provide detailed migration guides and support to ensure a smooth transition.

From Figma: PenPot offers a Figma import feature that allows you to import your Figma designs. While some complex features may require adjustment, most basic designs, components, and structures transfer successfully. The KloudBean team can provide guidance on optimizing your imports.

Our support team is available to assist with migrations of any size and complexity.

Security is a top priority for KloudBean-hosted PenPot instances:
