Leases, fleets and playbooks for every engineer whose agents share a repository. 1–50 seats · unlimited knots. Start a 30-day trial, no card.

Enterprise: from $89 a seat a month, billed annually

Workspace roll-ups, audit evidence, escrow and air-gapped licences for the whole estate. 50-seat minimum · from $53,400/yr.

Enterprise, in writing

Everything a procurement review asks for is part of the contract, not an add-on ladder. Seats are priced per engineer from a 50-seat floor. Source escrow: if Nool stops trading or supporting the product, you receive the source. Offline and air-gapped licences, no hub in the loop. Audit evidence export for your own auditors. Custom DPA and MSA. SLA support with a named engineer.

Prices and tax

Prices are in USD per engineer seat and exclude tax — sales tax or VAT is calculated from your location and added at checkout. Agents, CI runners and MCP sessions are never counted. Licences verify offline.

Frequently asked questions

Is Nool open source?
Nool is commercial software. Community is free forever. Enterprise contracts include source escrow, so if Nool ever stops trading or stops supporting the product, you receive the source.
What does Community include?
The whole single-player product: propose and solidify, every gate, tasks, threads, context, blast radius, try branches, the Git mirror and the MCP server. The limits are one engineer, one device and 1,000 knots a rolling month. Agents, CI runners and MCP sessions are unlimited.
How does the Team trial work?
Try Team free for 30 days with no card and no sales call: install Nool, then run nool admin account trial. The trial runs on your machine with every Team command; when it ends the binary degrades to Community rather than locking you out.
Are agents really free?
Yes. A seat is an engineer who holds a licence. The agents, CI runners and MCP sessions working on their behalf are not counted on any edition.
Does my code or my licence leave my machine?
Your code never leaves. Licences are signed tokens that verify offline; the hub only issues and renews them. Enterprise contracts add air-gapped licences with no hub in the loop. Anonymous usage telemetry is optional and switched off with nool telemetry.
What is the difference between Team and Enterprise?
Team is the coordination surface for 1 to 50 engineers: scope leases, agent fleets, playbooks, task import and MCP handoff, bought self-serve. Enterprise starts at 50 seats and adds workspace roll-ups across repositories, audit evidence export, policy packs, the Command Centre control plane, offline licences, source escrow, a custom DPA and MSA and SLA support.
How is Team billed?
Per seat, monthly at $59 or annually at $49 a month, for 1 to 50 seats. Paddle is the merchant of record and handles VAT and invoices. Add or remove seats at any time and cancel from your Paddle receipt.
Are licence purchases refundable?
You can request a full refund within 14 days of any charge — email help@nool.dev or use your Paddle receipt — and cancel anytime to stop renewals. There's also a 30-day Team trial (cancel before it ends, no charge) and a free Community edition to try first.
What about startups, open source and non-profits?
Community is free forever for anyone. Five engineering teams join the design-partner cohort each round: a one-month paid Enterprise pilot, then 40% off Nool CLI licensing for life, in return for a logo, a reference call and roadmap feedback. Apply through the contact form.
