The code that runs inside your app should be code you can read. That’s the part your security and legal teams have to sign off on, so we made it the open part.
The Terminalwire server — the gem you add to your Rails, Elixir, or other web app — is open source under Apache-2.0. Read it, audit it, fork it, ship it. It’s a normal open-source dependency with a permissive license, so your own source stays entirely yours. It’s free for personal and non-commercial use.
The client your users install is our product — built, signed, and kept up to date by us, exactly like a web browser: the web is open, and the browser vendor ships the thing everyone installs. It never runs inside your server.
When you ship a commercial CLI to your customers, that’s a paid plan, priced by monthly active Clients — installed copies of the CLI, not people: Launch is $199/month (up to 1,000), Scale is $1,499/month (up to 10,000), and Enterprise covers larger or custom needs. We count installs rather than users because Terminalwire doesn’t identify or track individual people, so one person running the CLI on four machines counts as four Clients. No revenue reporting, and nobody looks at your books. You’re paying for the whole thing working together — official servers continuously tested against the client — plus the hosted installer and instant updates, not for permission to run code in your own app. See pricing for the details.
