Free Self-hosted AI agents: questions people ask
What is a free self-hosted AI agent?
Agents you run on your own machine or server: local models, private data, offline use and open source code. On this page every tool also has a plan that costs nothing for as long as you like, read from its own pricing page.
How many Self-hosted AI agents have a free plan?
13 of the 22 Self-hosted AI agents RankDude lists, as of 1 November 2026. The full list, free or paid, is on the Self-hosted AI agents page.
What does the free plan usually limit?
Credits, outputs or projects per month, a watermark, lower resolution or fewer seats. The limits differ by tool; the pricing page each status was read from says exactly what the free plan includes.
Is this a ranking of free Self-hosted AI agents?
No. The list follows the site's one order: tools I have tested first, then the rest by how well known they are. Only a tested tool carries a grade.
