Is Guildwise really free?
Yes. The software is open source under Apache 2.0 and every feature is included. You can self-host it for any use, commercial included, with no fee. You pay only if you want hosting, help, or to support the project.
What does the commercial license actually do?
Apache 2.0 already lets you use Guildwise HQ commercially, so the license is voluntary. If you choose it, you pay what you want once (from $5) and get a commercial license issued in your name, plus the “Commercial supporter” badge for your site or README. Some companies like having a license on file. The money funds development.
Is VAT included?
Yes. Every price on this page includes VAT. Your invoice shows the dollar price, the VAT and the amount charged. Add your company and VAT number to the billing profile and it is printed on the tax invoice.
What is not included in Guildwise Cloud?
Backups and data maintenance. We host the application and apply updates. We don’t own your data, so we don’t keep copies of it. Export it whenever you like. Your code, vaults and secrets are not on our servers at all: they live on your workstations and in your own git repositories.
Can I export my data?
Your code and vaults are already yours, in your git repositories. You can export the audit trail from the app. If you need anything else out of your organization, write to us and we will help. The software is open source, so you can also move to your own server.
Can I cancel any time?
Yes. Cancel from the Billing page and your organization stays active until the end of the period you have paid for, then it is paused and nothing more is charged. We do not give pro-rata refunds for the unused part of a period.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Guildwise Cloud starts with a 7-day free trial. You add a card to start it, nothing is charged during the trial, and you can cancel before it ends and pay nothing.
Do workstations or agents count towards the price?
No. Only members of your organization count (guests do not). Agents, workstations and projects are unlimited. Your agents run on your own workstations and AI accounts, and your AI provider bills you for usage.
Should I self-host or use Cloud?
Self-host if you have a server, like running your own tools, or need everything on your own infrastructure. Use Cloud if you would rather not run, patch and update a server. Both have every feature, and the software is the same.
How does yearly billing work?
Yearly is 10 times the monthly price, which is two months free: $300 per organization per year plus $100 per additional member per year. Cancelling keeps access until the end of the paid year; the unused part is not refunded.
Who do I contact for setup or custom work?
Use Contact us for customization and setup support. Custom workflow and agent development, and organizational planning, are quoted on request, based on what you need.
How do I suggest a feature?
