What both publish
| Fact | Bastion | Tailscale |
|---|---|---|
| Notable limits | Bastion focuses on operating systems rather than databases, network routers, or cloud consoles; complex IAM integrations and specific high-availability architectures need individual discussion. | The Personal plan includes up to 6 users, 3 ACL groups, and 1,000 minutes per month for ephemeral resources; extra tagged resources cost $1 per month each. |
| Product | Bastion is a privileged access management platform for controlling SSH and RDP access to Linux and Windows servers on your own infrastructure. | Tailscale describes itself as a zero-config VPN that works with almost anything. |
