Question 1

Is TalkOps really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The TalkOps framework is open source under the Apache 2.0 license and free forever. You get the full runtime — multi-agent orchestration, the interactive TUI, headless CLI, plugins, MCP servers and self-hosted server mode — with no usage caps, seat limits or feature throttling.

Question 2

What will I actually pay for on the Open Source plan?

Accepted Answer

Nothing to TalkOps. You bring your own model provider keys (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini, AWS Bedrock, Azure OpenAI and more), so you only pay your LLM provider directly at their rates. If you run local models through Ollama or vLLM, model costs can be zero.

Question 3

When will Operator Pro be available?

Accepted Answer

Operator Pro is currently in development and will add a private TalkOps plugin marketplace for the tools your team works with (if a plugin you need doesn't exist yet, we'll write it for you), managed session persistence (checkpoints and threads stored in TalkOps-hosted PostgreSQL instead of the default local SQLite), a managed Control Plane, scoped API keys, human-in-the-loop approval gates and centralized audit logs.

Question 4

Will I need to change my workflows when I upgrade?

Accepted Answer

No. Every plan runs the same open-source TalkOps runtime inside your own infrastructure. Upgrading simply connects your existing setup to the TalkOps Control Plane for managed keys, governance and audit — your agents, skills and plugins keep working exactly as they do today.

Question 5

Who is Enterprise for?

Accepted Answer

Enterprise is built for organizations running TalkOps across multiple teams or clusters that need corporate SSO (SAML / OIDC), role-based access control, organization-wide guardrail policies, long-term audit retention for compliance, and a dedicated support SLA. Pricing is tailored to your fleet size and deployment model.

Question 6

Can I run TalkOps in my own VPC or in an air-gapped environment?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The open-source runtime is fully self-hosted on every plan and works with local models, so it can run without any outbound internet access. For organizations that also need the Control Plane on-premises, Enterprise supports self-hosted VPC and fully air-gapped deployments.

Question 7

How do I get support?

Accepted Answer

Open Source users get help from the community and maintainers on GitHub. Enterprise customers get a dedicated Solutions Architect, onboarding assistance and a 24/7 enterprise SLA. Operator Pro will include priority support via Slack and email when it launches.
