How to Upgrade Windmill

Using Windmill is free, as we are committed to open-source. You can either:

  • self-host it to use Windmill without restrictions (AGPLv3 License)
  • use the cloud app, building scripts, flows and apps for free.

However, you might need to upgrade your plan (from free) to Team or Enterprise editions. Reasons for this could be:

  • Self hosted: Commercial licence, Audit Logs exports, Distributed dependency cache...
  • Cloud: More computations, authors & operators, Dedicated isolated workers and database, Dedicated entire kubernetes cluster...
  • Both: SAML, SLA and Priority support & design partners...

All details about plans are available on Pricing page.

Plans on Windmill work at the workspace level. The free-tier is global across any non-upgraded workspace, so upgrading Windmill means upgrading the workspace to premium, not the account.

The exact billing of the subscription will then take into account number of users, among other things (computations, dedicated isolated workers and database, dedicated cluster etc).

Plans based on a workspace basis allow you to easily manage authorisations among users and track executions in aggregate.

Enterprise Edition​

Shortest first, to upgrade your workspace to Enterprise reach out to [email protected] or book a demo with us.

You can find a simulation of cost on the Pricing page.

Team Edition​

Upgrading to team edition is made directly from your cloud workspace.

From Windmill Cloud, go to the workspace you want to update.

From Windmill Cloud, click on the workspace button (by default, named "Demo") and then Create new workspace.
