Free Forever. Self-Hosted.
Zero SaaS Lock-in.
AgentGuard is not a paid closed-source SaaS. It is an open-source, deterministic security gateway you can inspect, modify, and self-host on your own infrastructure with complete sovereignty.
$0 Software License
No artificial per-agent limits, no tier paywalls, no monthly subscription fees. The core gateway, policy engine, scanner, and audit log are completely free.
Full Data Sovereignty
Your API credentials, payment tokens, prompt payloads, and audit logs never leave your servers or VPC. Zero telemetry or secret harvesting.
Auditable & Extensible
Inspect the exact logic enforcing spending limits, tool authorization, and prompt scanning. Fork and tailor custom policy rules to your security compliance needs.
What Does It Cost to Run AgentGuard?
While AgentGuard itself is 100% free software, production deployments involve standard infrastructure and payment gateway fees. Here is an honest breakdown of real costs:

Why Self-Hosted Open Source Wins for AI Security
| Capability | AgentGuard (Open Source) | Typical Closed SaaS |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing Model | 100% Free, Apache/MIT licensed | $99 - $500+/mo per agent |
| Data Privacy & Prompts | Stays entirely inside your infrastructure | Sent to 3rd party SaaS servers |
| Payment API Credentials | Only your backend holds Razorpay/PayPal keys | Requires delegating API keys |
| Deterministic Rule Audit | Full source code inspection & custom rules | Black box heuristics |
| Network Latency | Sub-millisecond local network loop | 100ms+ roundtrip SaaS overhead |
