Tailscale is both a client and server. If you use only Tailscale, you have to pay for the service after so many devices are connected, which by all means support the company and do so and avoid using Headscale.
Headscale is an open source implementation of the Tailscale service, so it’s free to use with all the usual Tailscale clients published. It’s just skipping the need to pay for Tailscale as a service, and gives you greater control over how traffic routed. Completely optional.

Yeah but it’s like 100 devices, I think. And I believe 3 users (meaning under one account; sharing a device with someone who makes their own account doesn’t count as a “user”). You’re right, but they’re pretty generous.
I don’t think it takes many resources to provide the service to consumers; it’s not like you’re using any of their bandwidth (minus the tiny amount used for coordination between clients). Oh, or if you use their DERP servers (encrypted, but still).
