public(full TypeScript monorepo, packages/api + frontend + widget + agentic + graph + cli, docker/ compose)

Hexabot is released under the Fair Core License, converting to Apache-2.0 two years after each release but restricting competing or hosted commercial use until then, which keeps the current code source-available rather than open source; the full runtime, API, frontend, widget, agentic engine and CLI, is published in one repository. Paid plans raise user, workflow and activation limits through a license key rather than unlock a withheld feature, a capacity cap rather than a gate.

• https://hexabot.ai/pricing recorded 2026-09-29

  The pricing page says "Community is self-hosted and free with no license key" and that paid plans "use license-key activations", a capacity limit rather than a withheld feature.

• https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hexabot-ai/Hexabot/main/CONTRIBUTING.md recorded 2026-09-29

  The contributing guide links the monorepo packages "packages/cli/README.md", "packages/api/README.md", "packages/frontend/README.md", "packages/agentic/README.md" and "packages/graph/README.md", so the whole runtime is in the public repository.

• https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hexabot-ai/Hexabot/main/LICENSE.md recorded 2026-09-29

  The license file is the Fair Core License text, which allows use for a "Permitted Purpose" and defines that as "any purpose other than a Competing Use", so it is source-available, not OSI open source.

Hexabot spans authoring, channels and agentic workflows: flows modeled visually or as YAML with typed runtime contracts, multilingual assistants across web, messaging and social channels, and memory and MCP integration points. That breadth puts it level with Dify.
