description: >-
  Konfig's commercial model, while it operated, was a subscription priced by the
  number of SDKs a publisher generated and kept updated, rather than a public
  per-call API price. Konfig distributed access to the generated SDKs and
  notified customers whenever a source API changed, positioning the fee against
  the engineering cost of hand-maintaining client libraries. Exact list prices
  and tier names were not published on the site and were handled through
  sales/demo conversations. Konfig was sunset in December 2024 and its full
  codebase was open-sourced under the MIT license, so the only currently
  available option is to self-host the open-source generator at no license cost.
notes: >-
  Prices below are modeled/unconfirmed - Konfig did not publish a public pricing
  page with numeric tiers. There is no active paid offering as of 2026-07-11
  because the company was sunset in December 2024; the open-source, self-hosted
  path is the live option. Verify against the archived site or the founders if
  reconciling.

    Since December 2024 the entire Konfig platform - CLI, generator backend,
    docs generator, and SDK templates - is open source under the MIT license and
    self-hostable from github.com/konfig-dev/konfig. No license fee; the only
    cost is your own infrastructure and maintenance.
