Hi, Airbyte engineer here.

All connectors and the core functionality of Airbyte will _always_ be open source and free to use. You will always be able to download and operate an instance of Airbyte, containing all connectors and ELT features (whether for personal projects or business operations in your company) for free.

However, there are some things that we might offer as a monetized product in the future, such as:

* enterprise compliance requirements (E.g SOC2)

* SSO

* Hosting Management

Hope this clarifies the direction we’re taking.
