How much does H2O.ai cost?

H2O.ai publishes 2 tiers, from Free for H2O-3 Open Source up to Free for Driverless AI. The entry tier costs nothing.

Does H2O.ai have a free plan?

Yes. The H2O-3 Open Source tier costs nothing and covers core algorithms, automl, community support.

What is the difference between H2O-3 Open Source and Driverless AI on H2O.ai?

Driverless AI costs Free against Free, and adds automatic feature engineering, model explainability, enterprise support.

Which machine learning tools can I use without paying?

7 of the 8 machine learning tools listed alongside H2O.ai have a free tier: ClearML, Langwatch, Haystack, Semantic Kernel, Dask.

Does H2O.ai charge per user?

The record carries a price and a billing period for each of its 2 tiers, but not the unit that price is charged in. Per-seat and flat-rate billing look identical in this data, so check the vendor's page before budgeting for a team.

Are these H2O.ai prices current?

They are what the catalogue entry holds, refreshed when the entry is. Vendors change pricing without notice and nobody at Softwr re-verifies each tier by hand, so treat this as a structured summary and the vendor's own pricing page as the authority.

What should I compare H2O.ai against before paying?

The closest machine learning tools in this directory are ClearML, Langwatch, Haystack, Semantic Kernel. Each has a side-by-side comparison with H2O.ai covering price, platforms and features.

H2O.ai pricing

H2O.ai publishes 2 tiers. Below is each one, what it adds over the tier beneath it, and where the ladder stops being worth climbing for most people.

As of 30 August 2026, H2O.ai pricing is free across 2 published tiers. Figures are the vendor's list prices as recorded on this page's last check; the vendor's site is the final word.

Entry price: Free
Model: Freemium
Tiers: 2
Free tier: Yes

H2O.ai plans, side by side

Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.

H2O.ai pricing tiers
Plan	Price	Features listed	Step up from the tier below
H2O-3 Open Source	Free	3	Entry tier
Driverless AI	Free	3	+$0/month, 3 more features

What each tier adds

The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

H2O-3 Open Source

Free

The entry tier. It covers core algorithms, automl, community support.

Driverless AI

Free

Over H2O-3 Open Source, this tier adds:

Automatic feature engineering
Model explainability
Enterprise support

Where H2O.ai stops being free

H2O-3 Open Source, Free

Core algorithms
AutoML
Community support

No paid tier on record

H2O.ai lists a free tier and no priced tier above it in the record we hold.

People bring H2O.ai in for distributed in-memory machine learning over large datasets, training and productionising models from r or python against a shared h2o cluster. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to H2O.ai are worth a look before you commit to a tier.

How that compares in Machine Learning

Too few machine learning tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.

H2O.ai entry price against other Machine Learning tools
Tool	Entry price	Model	Rated	Head to head
H2O.ai (this page)	Free	freemium	-
ClearML	Free	Open-source self-hosted, with paid hosted and enterprise tiers	-	vs H2O.ai
Langwatch	Free, then €29/month	Tiered subscription with usage-based overage charges	-	vs H2O.ai
Haystack	Free	Open-source with optional paid enterprise support	-	vs H2O.ai
Semantic Kernel	Free	Open source, no pricing	-	vs H2O.ai
Fal AI	$1.89/hour	usage-based	-	vs H2O.ai
Dask	Free	open-source	-	vs H2O.ai

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the H2O.ai badges page.

Before you pay for H2O.ai

Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.

What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 2 tiers between Free and Free, with the jump itemised above. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.

H2O.ai runs on web, cloud, and is published by H2O.ai of Mountain View, California. The full record is on the H2O.ai review, and the rest of the category is under best machine learning tools.
