Free to use under the Sustainable Use License.

Self-hosting is available under the Playrunner Sustainable Use License. It permits internal business use and personal, educational, evaluation, and other non-commercial uses. It does not permit selling Playrunner, monetizing access to it, or offering a service substantially based on it to third parties without separate written permission.

Questions

Common questions about cost and licensing.

Is Playrunner open source?
Playrunner is source-available, not open source. It is distributed under the Playrunner Sustainable Use License, which is not an OSI-approved license. You can read, modify, and self-host the code; you cannot resell it or offer it as a hosted service.
What am I allowed to do under the Sustainable Use License?
The license permits two categories of use: supporting your own organization's internal operations; and personal, educational, evaluation, or other non-commercial purposes. You cannot sell Playrunner, monetize access to it, or offer a service substantially based on it to third parties without separate written permission.
Can I use Playrunner today?
Yes, two ways. Run it yourself with Docker or in your own cloud account, with no license fee for any use the Sustainable Use License permits. Or use the managed Playrunner Cloud beta, which you can sign in to with GitHub or Google.
Do I need Playrunner Cloud to use the integrations?
No. Every integration node runs the same way on a self-hosted Playrunner deployment as it does on Playrunner Cloud, because integrations are bundled into the build rather than fetched at runtime. You connect your own Slack, Jira, GitHub, or OpenAI credentials either way.
