  • Each has a real cost: Amp purchased credits expire 12 months after purchase and subscription usage expires monthly, and Enterprise workspaces are billed at a 50 percent markup over individual and team rates, as of August 2026.; Jenkins described by the vendor as the leading open source automation server and a community-driven project, with no commercial edition or license fee
