Pros and cons
Pros
Pricing
- Free tierYes
- LicenceMIT
- Self-hostYes, source is public
- Public price listYes
We do not republish prices we have not checked by hand, because automated price extraction proved unreliable enough to mislead. The vendor’s own page has the current figures. Why we do this
View pricing on anythingllm.comTrends
Price points are recorded when a price moves, not on a schedule, so a flat run means the price held. Release cadence comes from GitHub releases. A series appears only once we have watched it for long enough to have more than one observation.
