Tier Comparison
Ptah has two tiers. Community is free, open source, and includes every local capability with no gating. Ptah Builders is a paid membership that adds training, member skill packs, and community — it does not unlock any local feature.

- Community is free and fully open source. Every local capability — chat, agents, orchestration, memory, skills, cron, messaging gateway, browser automation, code execution, MCP, and all providers — is included with no gating. There is nothing to activate and no feature held behind a paywall on your own machine.
- Ptah Builders is a paid membership. The list price is $29/mo or $290/yr, billed through Paddle. You get a SaaS-building course that runs from PRD to production, weekly live sessions (Q&A, tutorials, and live builds), member skill packs, the private builders community, and priority support. It does not unlock local features, because every local feature already ships in Community.
- Approved early adopters get their first year free — the Early Adopter program is a grant, not a discount. If we approve your application, we issue a 12-month Builders membership at no cost. There is no checkout step and no payment method to enter. After the 12 months, a paid subscription at the list price is the way to continue.
