- Free access: Cloud offers a trial. A self-hosted Community Edition is available; server and maintenance costs are separate.

## Editorial inference

Consider it when self-hosting matters and you can maintain the environment. Self-hosted deployment is not the easy choice for someone unwilling to manage a server.

Reasoning: A self-hosted edition is listed alongside managed plans; choosing that edition moves hosting responsibility to the operator.

## Not tested

We have not tested deployment effort, recovery procedures or model/API costs for your workflow.
