Pricing
Three plans.
No telemetry.
Self-host for free under BSL 1.1, take Solo to lift the agent cap, or Solo Lead to add a Master Agent that drives a swarm of workers. Source-available, no per-seat fee, no telemetry.
💡 Your keys, your model, your quota.
Tamer = orchestration + quality + governance on top of your existing LLM subscription. No vendor lock-in. Devs save tokens. SOC finally gets a compliant audit trail. Keep Claude Max, Gemini Advanced, or whatever you use. Why tamer ≠ a Claude/Gemini replacement →

What is a Master Agent? A Master Agent is an AI supervisor that orchestrates workers, detects conflicts, and handles approvals automatically. See Features → Master Agent →
💡 Avoid the Anthropic "Billing Split." tamer's Master behaves like a standard user on your terminal. It uses your existing account without requiring an ANTHROPIC_API_KEY or separate "Agent SDK" credits. Learn more about billing →
Self-hosted: you pay only for the infrastructure you choose to host the relay on (a small Docker container fits in < $5/month on most providers, or $0 on a spare VM). Source on GitHub; each release converts to Apache 2.0 four years after publication (BSL 1.1).
Looking for a hosted version?
A managed-relay offering for teams that don't want to run their own infrastructure is on the radar but not yet released. If you'd like to be informed when it ships — or if you have specific requirements (single-tenant, EU-only data residency, SSO) — open a GitHub issue and tell us what you need.
Tell us what you need →No commitment. No mailing list. We just want to hear from teams blocked by the self-host requirement.
License questions
- Can I use tamer commercially in my company?
- Yes. BSL 1.1 permits internal commercial use from day one — your developers can use tamer to ship paid software, and your company can deploy the relay internally for its own teams without limit. The only thing BSL restricts during the four-year window is reselling tamer itself as a managed competing service. After four years each release converts to Apache 2.0, lifting that restriction too.
- What exactly does BSL 1.1 restrict?
- Only one thing: offering tamer (or a substantially similar product derived from tamer's code) as a paid hosted service to third parties. Building anything else with or on top of tamer — even commercial products — is fine. The full text is short and human-readable; see the LICENSE file.
- When does each release become Apache 2.0?
- Four years after that release's date. Newer releases reset their own clock, but earlier ones remain on schedule. Once a release converts, it is freely usable under Apache 2.0 forever — including for resale.
- Do I need a contributor license agreement (CLA) to contribute?
- No CLA is required for community contributions today. Pull requests are welcomed under the project's existing license. If a CLA becomes necessary later (e.g., to dual-license parts of the code), it will be announced before any change.
- Can I fork tamer?
- Yes — BSL is source-available. Fork, modify, and run for any non-resale purpose. If you publish a fork, BSL terms travel with the code; once each release converts to Apache 2.0 the fork can do whatever Apache 2.0 permits.
