Pros and cons
Pros
Pricing
- Free tierYes
- LicenceMIT
- Self-hostYes, source is public
- Public price listNot published
Spec Kit does not publish a web price list. For consumer apps that usually means pricing appears inside the product; for enterprise tools it means talking to sales. Why we do this
