HAAO is open source — self-host it forever at no cost with your own keys. Hosted plans add collaboration, dashboards, and governance for teams.

Pricing questions
Is the free version really free forever?
Yes. The desktop/self-hosted app is MIT licensed. You bring your own model provider keys and pay only your own inference costs — which stay low because execution runs on local models.
What counts as a seat?
One person on your team with access to the hosted workspace. The Open Source tier has no seat concept — run it however you like.
How does HAAO keep cloud costs down?
Work stays on local models by default and only escalates to the frontier model when a retry budget is exhausted. The cloud audits the diff, not the whole repo. The metric we optimize is cost per accepted ticket.
Can I move from self-hosted to Team later?
Yes — that's the intended path. Start self-hosted, move to hosted Team when you want collaboration and dashboards without running infra.
