Comment on Airplane.dev raises $32M in Series B fundingparent

Comments

It's AGPL. If you do not need any enterprise feature like SSO, you do not need to "call us", it's free. But if you fork it and re-expose it to users, you will need to make your fork open-source.

Our business model is that we are the only ones that can grant a commercial license because we hold the copyright and we provide plugins that only make sense at the enterprise scale such as SSO and exportable audit logs.

So in a sense, if you are an enterprise and need to pay us, what is the difference ? Well you can audit the code and experiment with it prior to deciding if you'd like to pursue with us, and not have to go through a salesy pitch to self-host and stress-test our orchestration runtime.

The entire idea of “call us” about pricing screams of something you see from Oracle. That’s not a compliment by the way.

I do not know if your commented was targeted at Windmill or Airplane but our pricing is very clear and upfront. It's 10$/mo/user for the premium hosted version. You can read the code, use and self-host the product freely and without our blessing. The enterprise contract is a call us because that's how enterprise contracts work, they need complex agreement with various clauses.

I was basing my comment on the comment that you replied to:

Based on your pricing page, those helm charts cost "call us" money to use. Am I reading that right?

I couldn’t tell from your reply whether you were explicitly correcting him.

But it’s clear now, that I made a bad assumption about your pricing.
