Chat with AI models in your own browser-based workspace.
Use the self-hosted UI with its required branding under the current license. There is no included paid-model allowance: cloud APIs, servers and storage can cost extra. Removing branding or qualifying enterprise uses may require a separate license; do not assume the current release is unrestricted BSD.
Chat with AI on your computer, including offline models.
Jan Desktop is free under Apache-2.0. Local inference has no per-message software fee; hardware, electricity and model licenses still apply. Connected cloud providers have their own API prices.
Download and run AI models on your own computer.
Local models are free to run on your own hardware. Cloud Free includes limited starter usage; Pro is USD 20/month and Max USD 100/month. Usage credits and model token rates apply, and paid allowances do not roll over.
Ask AI questions about your documents and files.
The local desktop app and self-hosted software have a free MIT-licensed option. Cloud hosting and selected external model APIs can charge separately. Local model use still requires your device resources; free software does not include every model provider.
Build AI chatbots and automated workflows.
Cloud Sandbox is free with limited credits and storage. The provider lists Professional at USD 590/workspace/year and Team at USD 1,590/workspace/year on annual billing, before applicable taxes. Community self-hosting uses your infrastructure; model API keys and paid features can add costs.
Turn web pages into text and data for AI apps.
The hosted Free plan includes 1,000 credits each month. Hobby is USD 19/month billed monthly or USD 16/month billed annually for 5,000 monthly credits. Endpoint credit charges vary; optional paid-plan top-ups and extra usage can add charges.

Use a desktop AI agent with persistent context and integrations across communication platforms.
The MIT-licensed agent can run locally without a software license fee. Model APIs, optional Nous Portal subscriptions, search or other services, and cloud machines may charge separately. A free agent is not free access to every model.
Build and run AI agents that handle recurring work for you.
Self-hosting has no license fee; you pay for infrastructure and model providers. The hosted Platform is paid with usage-based runs. Platform code uses Polyform Shield for personal/internal business use; classic components are MIT, so the whole platform should not be described as MIT open source.
Give AI agents a browser interaction layer for completing tasks on the web.
The MIT-licensed local browser agent has no software license fee, but models and compute can cost extra. The managed cloud is usage-priced: its page lists USD 1 one-time signup credit for eligible signups and a USD 5 minimum top-up. Browser time, model usage and proxy traffic are billed separately.
Serve language models through an inference engine designed for throughput and efficient resource use.
The Apache-2.0 serving software is free. Models, GPU hardware, electricity, storage and cloud compute have separate terms and costs. Installing the runtime does not include a hosted inference allowance.
Autonomous coding agents that complete real engineering tasks.
