How much does Keras cost?

Keras publishes a single tier, Open Source, at Free.

Does Keras have a free plan?

Yes. The Open Source tier costs nothing and covers high-level api, pre-built layers, model serialization.

Which machine learning tools can I use without paying?

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

What am I actually paying for with Keras?

The record lists 11 features across 3 areas: other, integrations, platform. In practice it is brought in for machine learning, data analysis, model training.

Does Keras charge per user?

The record carries a price and a billing period for each of its 1 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 Keras 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 Keras 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 Keras covering price, platforms and features.

Keras pricing

Keras publishes a single tier. Below is what it costs, what it covers, and how that compares with the machine learning tools listed alongside it.

As of 30 August 2026, Keras pricing is free. 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: Open-source
Tiers: 1
Free tier: Yes

Keras 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.

Where Keras stops being free

Open Source, Free

High-level API
Pre-built layers
Model serialization

No paid tier on record

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

What the product covers

The full Keras feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.

Other

Sequential and Functional API
Pre-built neural network layers
Model training and evaluation
Transfer learning
Model serialization

Integrations

TensorFlow
JAX
PyTorch

Platform

Linux support
Mac support
Windows support

People bring Keras in for machine learning, data analysis, model training, predictive analytics. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Keras 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.

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

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 Keras badges page.

Before you pay for Keras

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: a single tier at Free. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.

Keras runs on python, google colab, jupyter, and is published by Google of Mountain View, California. The full record is on the Keras review, and the rest of the category is under best machine learning tools.
