## Caveats

- Starter self-host licence is $10/named user/month or $20/concurrent session/month on an annual prepaid subscription (1-25 seats) plus your own compute; hosted business SaaS is quote-only (min 25 users, annual). The only self-serve Kasm-hosted compute is Cloud Personal ($10/$20/$40 per month with 100/200/300 h caps).
- Self-hosted: compute is your own servers or cloud VMs, on top of the licence.
- Community Edition is free for individuals/non-profits (5 concurrent sessions), non-commercial.
- Streams containerised Linux desktops/browsers (KasmVNC); Windows via RDP servers.
- Kasm also sells Workspaces for Oracle Click-to-Subscribe (ephemeral workspaces on OCI, no persistence): Developer $40, Business $60, AI (GPU) $250 per user/month with 200/200/240 h monthly caps and 30/30/60-min idle timeouts. Machine sizes are not published, so it is not priced.
