Cairn pricing — free & open source, forever
Cairn is free and open source under the AGPL-3.0 — forever. There are no paid plans, no seat limits, and no license keys. Self-host it for free, on your own infrastructure, with the complete reconciliation engine and every integration.
The AGPL-3.0 license is used because Cairn integrates with Snipe-IT, which is also AGPL-3.0. Clone it, build it, and run it however you like.
