Offers
Cloud Free plan (perpetual) high confidence
$0 per builder/month. 2 builders, up to 50 end users, up to 10 apps, 100 AI credits/month with NO add-on AI credits available (unlike paid plans). ToolJet DB capped at 10 tables and 500 rows; external data sources unlimited. Predefined user roles, community support via Slack. Verified on the official pricing page today. No 2025-2026 sunset found.
Eligibility
Anyone; sign up at tooljet.com via 'Get Started'. No .edu email, no company type, no region limit stated. Credit card NOT required (free plan CTA is 'Get Started', no payment method mentioned anywhere on the page).
How to claim
Sign up free at tooljet.com/pricing (Cloud tab, Free tier 'Get Started').
Expiry
Perpetual free tier; no expiry date published.
Gotchas
AI-credit add-ons (pay-as-you-go at $1/100 credits) are NOT available on the Free tier — 100 credits is the hard cap and credits reset each billing cycle with no rollover. DB limits (10 tables / 500 rows) make real apps impractical on Free. Third-party LLM keys: BYOK only on Enterprise.
Self-Hosted Community Edition (open source, perpetual) high confidence
ToolJet core is open source under AGPL-3.0 (verified on the GitHub repo today): visual app builder, 90+ data sources, self-host via Docker/Kubernetes, run JS/Python in apps. The pricing page lists a $0 'Free' self-hosted tier: 2 builders, up to 50 end users, up to 10 apps, 100 AI credits/month, no AI add-on. Workflow Automation & Agent Builder are noted as 'Available on Self-hosted only'. Fully offline/air-gapped operation (including licensing) requires the paid Self-hosted Enterprise air-gapped add-on.
Eligibility
Anyone, unlimited — you host it yourself; no CC, no .edu, no region limit. AGPL-3.0: if you modify the server and offer it as a network service, the AGPL copyleft applies to your modified code. If you use an unmodified server build you have no AGPL obligations. No open-source commercial license tier is needed for private use.
How to claim
Clone repo and self-host: https://github.com/ToolJet/ToolJet (Docker/Kubernetes). No sign-up required for the software itself.
Expiry
Perpetual; AGPL-3.0.
Gotchas
Your only real cost is your own infrastructure (server, DB, LLM tokens if you wire up AI). Air-gapped/offline licensing is NOT free — Enterprise add-on. GitHub repo labels some AI features as 'ToolJet AI (Enterprise)'; the pricing page says Workflow Automation/Agent Builder ship with self-hosted (possibly tied to paid self-hosted Team), so confirm which agent features are CE vs Enterprise before relying on them. Open-source/non-profit projects are offered 'heavy discounts' on paid features per the pricing FAQ, but that is a discount, not free.
Team plan trial (self-serve 'Start Trial') low confidence
The Cloud Team tier ($199/builder/mo, 'Saved 20%' tagged) carries a 'Start Trial' CTA on the pricing page, implying a trial of the Team/Enterprise tiers. No trial length, conversion terms, or CC requirement is stated on the page; the official page did not publish details as of today.
Eligibility
Unpublished; sign up flow via 'Start Trial' on the Team tier.
How to claim
Click 'Start Trial' on the Team plan at tooljet.com/pricing/.
Expiry
Unpublished trial window.
Gotchas
Trial-vs-free trap: a trial converts to a paid plan; without published terms you don't know whether a CC is captured or when billing starts. Details unverified.
Startups founded within the last 3 years; no funding cap stated; 'open to all organizations and startups'. Access is gated through Stirring Minds membership/its incubator.
How to claim
Startups apply by filling out a form provided by Stirring Minds (to its members); services delivered after incubator approval. No direct application page on tooljet.com found.
Partner-channel deal from 2021 — may be lapsed or renegotiated; 'Business plan' naming suggests pre-2025 plan naming (ToolJet restructured tiers to Basic/Flexible/Team/Enterprise). Verify directly with Stirring Minds or hello@tooljet.com before relying on it.

How to claim

Gotchas
Treat as free community/education content, not as a product offer; cost and certification status not explicitly confirmed as $0 on the announcement page.
