  and https://www.selenium.dev/project/ — searched 2026-08-26. No pricing or plans page exists on
  the site; the sitemap (https://www.selenium.dev/en/sitemap.xml, 702 URLs) contains no /pricing/
  path.
description: >-
  Selenium publishes no plans and charges no money. It is a volunteer open-source project under the
  Software Freedom Conservancy, distributed under Apache-2.0, with every component — the language
  bindings, Selenium Grid, Selenium Manager, Selenium IDE and the Docker images — available at no
  cost from public package registries and GitHub releases. There is no account, no key, no metered
  quota and no commercial tier, because there is no vendor-operated service to meter.

funding_model: >-
  Sponsorship and donation, not sales. https://www.selenium.dev/sponsors/ (200, 2026-08-26) lists
  project sponsors and https://www.selenium.dev/sponsor/ solicits new ones. Money flows to the
  project, never from a user to use the software.
note: >-
  This file previously carried a fabricated three-tier scaffold ("selenium-free" with a monthly API
  request quota) written by the 2026-05-04 bulk sweep — see roadmap#35. Selenium has no API request
  quota because Selenium does not serve API requests: the software runs on the consumer's own
  machine. The scaffold has been replaced with the measured zero. plan_count: 0 here is a finding,
  not a gap.
adjacent_commercial_note: >-
  Paid Selenium-compatible services do exist — BrowserStack, Sauce Labs, TestMu AI (formerly
  LambdaTest), Applitools and others run hosted grids that speak the same W3C WebDriver protocol.
  Their pricing belongs to those providers, not to Selenium, and is deliberately not recorded here.
