NestJS
- Licensed under the MIT License per nestjs.com; the core framework has no paid tier, but the Enterprise support offering (architectural reviews, LTS, upgrade assistance) is sold by direct contact with no published rate
- Built specifically on TypeScript and Node.js, per nestjs.com's own description, so it requires that runtime and cannot be adopted independently of the Node.js ecosystem
Yarn
- Yarn 2+ (Berry) has limited ESM support which can be a constraint for some projects
- Smaller ecosystem and community compared to npm, though still substantial
