Removing branding or qualifying enterprise uses may require a separate license; do not assume the current release is unrestricted BSD.
Free credit tier; paid plans and commercial licensing
Manage, build, and run AI agent teams around the clock.
LobeHub pricing includes 500k monthly credits free and paid Starter from displayed $9.90/month. LobeChat/LobeHub source uses a modified Community License: commercial derivative development/distribution requires a commercial license; it is not plain Apache-2.0.
