Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Freedcamp

  • Plans are differentiated mainly by file upload size, at 10 MB on free, 25 MB on Pro, 100 MB on Business and 250 MB on Enterprise
  • The issue tracker, wiki, CRM, invoices and reports all require the Business plan at $7.49 per user per month
  • Backups start at Business and are weekly, becoming daily only on Enterprise
  • SAML SSO and white labelling are Enterprise only at $16.99 per user per month
  • AI usage is banded by plan rather than metered in stated units, described as limited, high and almost unlimited

Steampipe

  • AGPL-3.0 across all four engines is a procurement blocker at organisations that ban the licence outright, and the network clause reaches any internal portal or service that puts a web interface in front of it
  • Dashboards, benchmarks and mods were removed from Steampipe entirely at version 1.0 in October 2024 and now live in a separate product, so pre-2024 documentation and tutorials describe commands that no longer exist
  • Live querying is bound by cloud provider API rate limits and keeps no persistent store by default, which is why a separate DuckDB-backed product exists for log volumes and why large accounts return slowly
  • The company is fifteen people and bootstrapped, maintaining four command line tools plus a hosted service plus two further products, and the newer tools have thin community traction relative to that surface area
  • Hosted tiers include only three users regardless of tier, with additional Enterprise users charged separately, so a team of thirty costs an order of magnitude more than the headline figure before compute and storage are counted

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Freedcamp: Does Freedcamp offer a free plan?

Yes. Freedcamp's Free plan includes unlimited projects, tasks, storage (subject to fair usage policy), and users. It covers Calendar, Time, Milestones, Discussions, Files, Tasks, and Passwords applications.

Source
Steampipe: When did Steampipe become AGPL?

May 2021, about four months after the project went public. It is a settled licence rather than a recent change, and predates the Business Source Licence wave it is often confused with.

Freedcamp: What is the difference between Freedcamp's Business and Enterprise plans?

Business plan ($7.49/user/month) includes premium apps and weekly backups. Enterprise plan ($16.99/user/month) adds daily backups, white label capabilities, SSO with SAML, and lightning-fast support. Enterprise also offers volume discounts.

Source
Steampipe: Where did the dashboards and benchmarks go?

Into Powerpipe. They were deprecated in March 2024 and removed from Steampipe at version 1.0 in October 2024, so the check, dashboard, mod and variable commands are gone.

Freedcamp: How much file storage can I get with Freedcamp?

File upload limits depend on plan tier: Free plan has fair usage policy; Pro allows 25MB uploads; Business allows 100MB uploads; Enterprise allows 250MB uploads. All plans include cloud integrations with Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive.

Source
Steampipe: Is it fast on a large cloud estate?

Not always. Queries call provider APIs at request time, so rate limits rather than query planning set the pace, and there is no persistent store by default.

Steampipe: Does the AGPL affect internal use?

Running it internally for your own analysis is fine. Putting a web interface in front of it that other people use is where the network clause becomes a question for your legal team.

Steampipe: Is a bootstrapped vendor a risk?

It cuts both ways. There is no investor pressure toward a licence change or an exit, and there are also fifteen people supporting a large product surface.
