People bring OpenHAB in for self-hosted vendor neutral home automation hub, bridging smart home devices from different manufacturers under one set of rules. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to OpenHAB are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
Before you pay for OpenHAB
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.
OpenHAB runs on linux, windows, macos, docker, raspberry pi, and is published by openHAB Foundation of International Community. The full record is on the OpenHAB review.
