Agent8 is free.
You pay for someone on the hook.

The code is MIT and stays that way. What you pay for is what code alone does not give you: a tested build for each Jenkins LTS, checks on your real platform, and someone who answers when a controller upgrade leaves your build hosts offline.

Open source, $0

The install script, the Ansible playbook, and releases for the current Jenkins LTS and weekly, each named after the Jenkins version it was tested with. Bugs go to GitHub issues. How Agent8 works →

Yearly support

Keep up with every controller upgrade

Jenkins raises the oldest agent it accepts over time, so an Agent8 jar that works today is eventually refused: Jenkins 2.586 already refuses the build for 2.462.3. Support means a tested build is ready before you upgrade.

Standard

$3,000 per controller, per year, up to 20 hosts
  • A tested Agent8 build within five business days of every Jenkins LTS
  • Your installed build checked against each upcoming LTS, with a warning before it would be refused
  • Email support from the engineer who builds Agent8, reply within two business days
  • Help with each controller upgrade across your hosts
Ask about Standard

or email hello@keelinfra.io

Enterprise

from $8,000 per year, any number of hosts
  • Everything in Standard, for all your controllers
  • Each new build verified on your OS and Java versions before you get it
  • Signed jars and an SBOM, prepared for your security review (not yet in the public releases)
  • A named engineer, reply within one business day

Support is new: the first customers set it up with us, and the price they start at stays theirs. Agent8 is independent and not endorsed or supported by the Jenkins project.

FAQ

Straight answers

Do I need to pay to use Agent8?

No. Everything in the repository is free, with no gated features. Paying adds checks on your platform, builds ready ahead of your upgrades, and people.

Could we build this ourselves?

Yes, and the code is open if you want to. The work is in keeping up: a new Jenkins release every week, a rising minimum agent version, and platforms CI cannot rent. For most teams, support costs less than an engineer's time spent on that.

What does a pilot not cover?

Plugins and job types outside the jobs we run with you. The report lists what was and was not exercised, so you know what is still unverified.

What are your support hours?

EU business hours. We do not sell a 24/7 SLA we cannot staff honestly.
