Pricing and conditions
Documented terms
Cloud Free allows 5 users; Business displays $15/user/month up to 99, Enterprise $2,500/month for 100. The $ ISO currency and regional totals are unconfirmed; terms exclude applicable taxes. Business is billed at month-end by card; Enterprise is usually annual, so monthly display is not a monthly-contract promise. Any member added during a cycle is billed for the full month; multiple instances under one key aggregate usage. Hosting and air-gapped add-ons cost separately.

Pricing or terms sourceCode, model and service licensing
CE code is Apache-2.0 with license, change and NOTICE obligations as applicable. EE/service terms are separate and restrict EE to internal business, not resale or third-party benefit. Customer applications/data remain theirs. Telemetry may support billing and improvement; disabling optional telemetry leaves mandatory server and paid billing calls. The privacy policy's no-AI-training statement specifically covers Google Workspace API/user data, not all database data or external providers. External libraries, APIs, models and outputs keep their own terms.
Basis and limits of the recorded score
The existing 4.6 editorial score is retained without its original scoring worksheet. This document review did not re-score or measure performance.
Overview
Appsmith connects widgets to database/API queries and JavaScript logic, with Git for version management. It builds internal applications rather than acting as a standalone generative model. Teams still own connector configuration, access control and query design.
CE can be self-hosted; commercial features use separate terms. Self-hosting does not mean zero outbound traffic: documented server-start/keep-alive calls and paid billing usage remain when optional telemetry is disabled. External APIs and models have their own data destinations. Decide edition, infrastructure and membership rules before handling operational data.
