Giving back to open source

Free Pro licenses for open source projects.

Open source projects get up to 5 Pro licenses at no cost: 20× the weekly allowance of Free and top priority model access, for as long as the AppJet logo and link stay in their GitHub repository.

Up to 5 Pro licenses · No credit card · One account for all your projects

WHAT YOUR PROJECT GETS

Pro, for the people who maintain it.

The same Pro plan paying customers use, activated on the maintainers’ accounts by the AppJet team.

01 / UP TO 5 LICENSES

Pro for your maintainers

Each license is the full Pro plan: 20× the weekly allowance of Free, top priority model access, custom domains, virtual disk storage, and everything in Free. Pro is normally $15 USD per month.

02 / ONE ACCOUNT

Every project you work on

The license applies to a maintainer’s account, not to a single repository. Use it on other repositories and projects at the same time, including private and commercial work, with the same account.

03 / NOTHING TO PAY

Free while the logo stays

No credit card, no checkout, and no trial expiry. Pro stays active for as long as the AppJet logo and a link to appjet.ai remain in the project’s GitHub repository.

HOW TO APPLY

Three steps to free Pro.

Applications are handled by the AppJet team from Help inside the app. Mention the repository you are working on and we take it from there.

01 / LOGO

Add the AppJet logo and link

Put the badge below, or the AppJet logo with a link to appjet.ai, in your repository’s README so it is visible on GitHub.

02 / APPLY

Open Help inside AppJet

Sign in with GitHub, open Help, and mention the GitHub repository you are working on and which maintainers need a license, up to 5.

03 / BUILD

Build on Pro

Once the team confirms the repository, Pro is activated on the maintainers’ accounts. Keep building your open source project, and anything else, with the same account.

THE LOGO AND LINK

Add the badge to your README.

Copy one of these snippets. Any placement works as long as the AppJet logo and the link to appjet.ai are visible in the repository.

Built with AppJetPreview of the badge. It links to appjet.ai.

Who is eligible

A short list, on purpose. If your project is open source and the logo is in the repository, you qualify.

Compare Free, Starter, and Pro
  • An open source project with a public GitHub repository.
  • The AppJet logo and a link to appjet.ai visible in that repository, for example in the README.
  • Up to 5 Pro licenses per project, one per maintainer account, activated without a checkout or credit card.
  • Licenses stay active while the logo and link remain in the repository. Applications are reviewed by the AppJet team.
  • No restriction on your other work. The same account can work on other repositories and projects, including commercial ones, at the same time.

Open source program questions

Plans and billing details →
Who can apply for free Pro licenses?

Any open source project with a public GitHub repository. A maintainer applies by opening Help inside AppJet and mentioning the repository the team is working on. Individual developers, companies, and foundations are all welcome, as long as the project itself is open source.

How many licenses can a project receive?

Up to 5 Pro licenses per open source project, one per maintainer account. Each license is the regular Pro plan, which is otherwise $15 USD per month, at no cost.

Can I use the same account for other projects, including commercial ones?

Yes. The license applies to your account, not to a single repository. You can work on other repositories and projects at the same time, including private and commercial projects, with the same account. Your weekly allowance is shared across all of your projects.

What does the Pro license include?

Everything in Pro: 20× the weekly allowance of Free, top priority model access, custom domains, virtual disk storage, and all Free features, including private projects, GitHub and Supabase integrations, vulnerability scanning, and Cloudflare global edge deployment.

What happens if the logo or link is removed from the repository?

The free licenses depend on the AppJet logo and link staying in the repository. If they are removed, the licenses can end and the accounts return to Free. Projects and deployments stay in place, as with any plan change; custom domains and virtual disks require an active paid plan. Add the logo back and open Help to have the licenses restored.

Do I need a credit card?

No. The AppJet team activates the licenses on the maintainers’ accounts. There is no checkout, no credit card, and no trial expiry.

Why does AppJet offer this?

Open source software is part of everything we build. Giving maintainers Pro at no cost is our way of giving back to the open source community and helping their projects move faster.

Give your open source project Pro.

Add the AppJet logo and link to your repository, then open Help inside AppJet and mention the repository.
