Pricing

You can, Speckle is open source. And it's free! However, the self-hosted version of Speckle doesn't give you access to workspaces for easily managing your projects and team members, and you also don't get access to Speckle automate. So while self-hosting is a great option, most people prefer the feature-complete and easy-to-manage server that we host on app.speckle.systems.

You only pay for users who actively publish or load data using Speckle connectors; we call those Editors. Anyone who just views models or leaves comments in the 3D viewer is free—think clients or seniors in your company who want a quick overview of the progress. Those seats are called Viewer seats, and are free and unlimited.

If your priority is working on a lot of projects and models: Choose the Starter plan ($9/editor/month) with the unlimited projects and models add-on ($15/editor/month). Your full monthly price for having endless projects in Speckle will be $24/editor/month.

If your priority is version and comment history or security: Choose the Business plan ($49/editor/month). That way, you still get a large amount of projects (10) and models (50), and more importantly, you unlock the full version & comment history, domain protection, SSO, and data residency options. If you need more, the unlimited projects and models add-on is also an option here.

Yes, of course! You can continue on the Free plan to explore Speckle (1 project, 5 models, and limited version and comment history for 7 days) or upgrade to the Starter plan for more freedom—even as an individual Speckler—with 5 projects, 25 models, and extended version and comment history for 30 days.

So much data: Hosting so many, many projects (more than 620,000) isn’t free, and we want to keep innovating (not just keep the lights on).

Your feedback: You’ve asked for stronger security, more automation, and better team controls—workspaces deliver all that.

Our mission: We stay open-source (self-hosting is free!) but our hosted version needs resources to grow alongside your needs, and make AEC better.

Go to the Billing page in your workspace settings. Once there, you can Subscribe to the Starter or Business plan depending on your needs.

If you’d like to stay in the Starter plan, but need more room for your projects and models, you can use an add-on to get unlimited projects and models for an additional $15/editor/month add-on.

Keep in mind, this does not give you a longer version or comment history. To unlock unlimited history, jump into the Business plan for $49/editor/month.

Not at all. Self-hosted Speckle remains 100% free and open-source. Workspaces and Speckle Automate are exclusive to our hosted version, though.
