Is MonkeyCode free to use?
Yes, with boundaries. The hosted Basic plan is free forever (10M tokens/day, 1 concurrent task), and the self-hosted software is free to obtain and modify under GNU AGPL-3.0.
Important context
"Free" applies to a specific tier and to the license, not to everything. Higher hosted tiers are paid (Pro USD 15/month, Ultra USD 60/month), and self-hosting still incurs infrastructure, model usage, and operations cost. Annual pricing is not verified.
| Hosted free tier | Basic — free forever (10M tokens/day, 1 concurrent task) |
|---|---|
| Paid hosted tiers | Pro $15/month, Ultra $60/month |
| Self-hosted software | GNU AGPL-3.0, free to obtain and modify |
| Not free | Self-hosted operation (infrastructure, models, operations) |
What to do next
Use the free hosted tier to evaluate the workflow, and budget infrastructure, model, and operations cost before committing to self-hosting.
