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.

Ollama 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.

Ollama pricing tiers
Plan	Price	Features listed	Step up from the tier below
Free	Free	4	Entry tier
Pro	$20/month	3	+$20/month, 3 more features
Team	$25/month	4	+$5/month, 4 more features
Max	$100/month	2	+$75/month, 2 more features
Enterprise	On request	4	Priced on request

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.

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.

Ollama (this page)	Free	freemium	-
ClearML	Free	Open-source self-hosted, with paid hosted and enterprise tiers	-	vs Ollama

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 Ollama badges page.

Before you pay for Ollama

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: 5 tiers between Free and On request, 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.

Ollama runs on macos, windows, linux, cloud (aws, google cloud, azure, self-hosted). The full record is on the Ollama review, and the rest of the category is under best machine learning tools.
