Pricing & licensing
Frnd is free to use while we are in alpha — every service we have built so far, no catch.
What is planned at launch
Once Frnd leaves alpha, we are planning two tiers:
Free
Read-only access to your connected abilities, and the basics you need to try Frnd out properly.
Paid
Full read-write access, User approval for sensitive actions, audit logs, and every service we support. For actually relying on it day to day.
That is the basic idea; where the split will actually land will be decided later.
No data mining, no ads — ever. Revenue comes from subscriptions, not from your data.
Licensing
We are planning to release Frnd's source code under the Polyform Noncommercial licence.
- Non-commercial use is free — run it yourself for personal use, research, or education.
- Commercial use needs a licence — if you are running it for a business, or as a competing service, get in touch.
- It is not for resale — you cannot package it up and sell it on.
Self-hosting is a first-class option for Frnd, not an afterthought. If you are technical and would rather run your own instance than trust ours, that door stays open.
