  Windmill has an open-source Community Edition (AGPL) that is free to
  self-host, plus paid Enterprise Edition tiers available on both Windmill Cloud
  and self-hosted. Paid pricing (revised in early 2026) is a combination of
  Compute Units and Seats. A Compute Unit (CU) equals roughly 2 worker-GB-month
  of execution capacity - a standard worker with a 2 GB memory limit is 2 CU.
  Seats are billed per active user, with operator users (who can only execute
  scripts, flows, and apps, not author them) counted as half a seat, and
  external JWT users also counted as fractional seats. The REST API itself has
  no separate fee - it is the same surface the CLI and UI use, governed by the
  plan's compute and seat entitlements. Exact per-unit rates should be verified
  on the Windmill pricing page during reconciliation.
notes: >-
  The Community Edition free tier caps SSO users, workspaces, groups, and daily
  emails but allows unlimited executions bounded by your own hardware.
  Enterprise adds SSO/SAML with group sync, audit logs, agent workers, approval
  steps, multiplayer editing, distributed S3 dependency cache, and 24/7 support.
  Verify current CU and seat prices on the pricing page.
