Open Source vs Commercial Features
Tracetest has two distinct feature sets:
- Hobby Self-hosted Open-source Tracetest Core: Free and available on GitHub. Contains the core trace-based testing features. Perfect for hobby usage and non-production workloads.
- Commercial Tracetest (Cloud + On-Prem): The commercial versions of Tracetest include both a cloud-based managed version and an on-prem enterprise version. They contain more advanced features on top of Tracetest Core for larger organizations with platform and observability teams.
