# Do you offer free accounts?

Unlike most SaaS companies, Leantime maintains an open-source version that anyone can download and self-host for free. This commitment to open-source reflects our core values of accessibility and transparency.

We’ve chosen to eliminate our limited free SaaS tier because:
* **It creates confusion.** Having both a free SaaS tier and an open-source version created an unnecessary decision point for users.
* **It splits our focus.** Maintaining feature limitations for free users diverted resources from improving the core product experience.
* **It ensures sustainability.** By focusing on paying customers who value our work, we can build a sustainable business that continues to improve the product for everyone.

If you’re seeking a free solution, our open-source version offers extensive functionality and is actively supported by our community. For those who want a hassle-free experience with all features included, our SaaS offering provides exceptional value.
