AddaxAI-Connect plan tool

AddaxAI Connect is made for nature conservation, and the software is free and open source with no licensing cost. The prices below are only the hardware and the optional help. Those service fees are what keep the software free for everyone. You can also run everything yourself at no software cost.

The paid help is best-effort and kept lightweight, without formal service level agreements or heavy procurement. If you need enterprise-level guarantees or contractual service levels, you can run the open-source stack yourself or work with a specialised enterprise provider.
