This page covers Rollout’s licensing. It keeps its historical /docs/open-source address, but Rollout is source-available, not open source.

Rollout is source-available under the Business Source License 1.1 (BUSL-1.1). See the LICENSE file that ships with the source for the full text and parameters. BUSL is not an Open Source license — the license text itself says so — which is why we say “source-available” and never “open source”.

License terms

  • Free for personal use — including production — and for any non-production use: evaluation, development, and testing.
  • Production use by or for a business requires a commercial license — see rollout.dev/pricing.
  • Each version of Rollout converts to the Apache License 2.0 two years after it is published (the BUSL Change License).

Running Rollout on your own infrastructure

Personal self-hosting is free under the license above — the whole platform, not a crippled tier. Self-serve self-hosting is planned but not yet available, and no date is promised.

Business production deployments require a commercial license. Today that means a design partnership — the platform deployed with you on your own infrastructure. The managed cloud is open as a waitlist, and a self-host license is planned.
