# Managed hosting (pro-bot.dev)

> Use ProBot the easy way - we run the platform, you just build and share your bot.

The simplest way to use ProBot is the **managed** service at [pro-bot.dev](https://pro-bot.dev). We operate the platform; you sign up, build a bot, and share it. There's nothing to deploy.

## What you get

* A hosted dashboard to build and manage your bot
* A public chat page: `pro-bot.dev/u/<username>/chat`
* A one-line embeddable widget
* Conversation logging, lead capture, and analytics
* Optional [managed key storage](/guides/managed-key-storage)

## What it costs

Nothing to use ProBot. It's free and MIT-licensed. You only ever pay your **own LLM provider** for the tokens your bot uses - often pennies, or free on provider free tiers. See [Models & keys](/guides/models-and-keys).

## Your data

* Your LLM key is envelope-encrypted at rest and never logged in plaintext.
* Conversations are logged anonymously; the only personal data kept is what a recruiter voluntarily submits in the lead form.
* You can [export or delete](/guides/account-deletion) everything at any time.

## Want to run the chat yourself?

If you'd rather serve the chat from your own domain, self-host the bot with the tiny [`probot-bot` runtime](/self-hosted-bot/index) - the dashboard, knowledge, and leads stay on the managed platform.
