Questions, answered
Is the community edition really free?
Yes. The Community core is open source under Apache-2.0 and runs entirely locally — no account required for single-developer use. It is not a time-limited trial.
What's the difference between open core and open source?
Kodela's core is open source. Team, Cloud, and Enterprise are commercial editions that add collaboration, governance, and deployment capabilities on top — we never paywall the fundamentals the open core provides.
Do you train models on our code or context?
No. Kodela is infrastructure for your knowledge, not a data product. Your context stays in your storage; Enterprise adds private-LLM and air-gapped options for full control.
How is Team priced?
Team is usage-based rather than rigid per-seat tiers, so it scales with how much your team actually relies on it. Reach out and we'll size it with you.
