Amundsen pricing.
Amundsen is free. It's an open-source project (Apache-2.0) with no paid tier — the cost is the infrastructure you run it on and the engineering time to operate it.
What's verifiable.
Free tier Fully open source under Apache-2.0; no paid tier exists. Run cost is your own infrastructure (frontend, search, and metadata services plus Neo4j and Elasticsearch).
How free forever pricing works.
The software is free, full stop — an open-source project with no commercial tier behind it. Your real costs are infrastructure and the engineering time to deploy, upgrade, and operate it.
Total cost of ownership. Free software with a weekend of setup and a day a month of upkeep is not free — budget the operational load, and check project governance for long-term maintenance signals.
Same cluster, ranked by entry cost.

Stemma — the venture-backed company founded by an Amundsen co-creator to sell managed Amundsen — was acquired by Teradata in 2023, and the standalone product was discontinued (the team was folded into Teradata's AI and catalog work). Teams wanting Amundsen-shaped search-first discovery as a service buy `select-star`, `secoda`, or `atlan`; teams wanting OSS with a managed escape hatch pick `datahub` or `openmetadata` instead.
