- Commercial use
- Yes
- The Community edition (appsmith-ce) is Apache-2.0 licensed, permitting internal commercial use, modification and white-labeling without copyleft duties. Note that official Docker docs default to the Commercial image (appsmith-ee, which starts free); switch the image tag to appsmith-ce if you want strictly Apache-2.0 code.

- Last push on 2026-11-14. The repository is not archived.
- Setup
- Moderate
- Official Docker Compose bundles Appsmith, MongoDB, Redis and PostgreSQL inside one container for quick startup, but requires at least 8 GB of host RAM and outbound firewall access to cs.appsmith.com. Externalizing MongoDB, Redis and Postgres reduces single-container memory demand.
- Cost
- Free CE
- Self-hosting the Free/Community tier costs $0 in license fees for unlimited users (you pay for an 8 GB+ RAM VM); Cloud Free caps at 5 users, 5 workspaces and 3 Git repos. Paid plans checked November 15, 2026: Business is $15/user/month (up to 99 users, adding custom roles, audit logs and branding removal); Enterprise is $2,500/month for 100 users (adding SAML/OIDC SSO and SCIM).
- What to watch out for
- Two practical constraints: (1) all-in-one Docker requires 8 GB RAM unless supporting databases are externalized; (2) while Google OAuth ships in Free, enterprise SAML / OIDC SSO and SCIM group sync are absent from the $15/user Business tier and only unlock in the $2,500/month (100-user) Enterprise plan.
