Question 1

Is the free tier limited in what it can do?

Accepted Answer

No. Every plan has the full workflow in it. What the free tier limits is volume, not capability, and Enterprise adds SSO, RBAC, and API Clients on top.

Question 2

What do I need to run the Community Edition?

Accepted Answer

The source, and somewhere to run it. Rhesis is open source, so you can run it with Docker Compose or Kubernetes on your own infrastructure, with nothing metered.

Question 3

What is the difference between self-hosting and Rhesis Cloud?

Accepted Answer

Same platform, same workflow. Self-hosted it runs on your infrastructure with nothing metered; on Rhesis Cloud it runs on ours and your plan carries a monthly allowance.

Question 4

Can I self-host the Enterprise Edition?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Rhesis is open source and self-hostable, and the Enterprise Edition adds access controls on top of it. It runs on your own infrastructure, or on ours.

Question 5

Do domain experts need a technical setup to take part?

Accepted Answer

No. Experts work in the web UI: they write cases, review results and traces, mark Pass or Fail with a comment, and resolve threads. No code, no local setup.

Question 6

Do I need my own model API key?

Accepted Answer

No. The Rhesis Default model is hosted, so you can run your first evaluations without one. Bring your own provider key and the model-token meter stays at zero.

Question 7

How do engineers get the annotated sets into CI?

Accepted Answer

Pull them with the Python SDK, the REST API, or MCP, then run them as a pipeline gate. There is a GitHub Actions guide, and the same pattern fits GitLab CI and Jenkins.

Question 8

Which agent frameworks are supported?

Accepted Answer

Connect any agent over REST or WebSocket, or register a Python function with the SDK Connector. Penelope and tracing cover LangChain, LangGraph, and Pydantic AI.

Question 9

How do I move to a paid plan?

Accepted Answer

Talk to us. Team is set up by invoice rather than card checkout, and Enterprise access controls are configured together with your identity provider.

Question 10

What exactly counts against a limit?

Accepted Answer

One execution is a test case run and scored, once, however many metrics score it. One span is one LLM, tool, or retrieval call. Everything resets on the first of the month.

Question 11

What happens when I reach a limit?

Accepted Answer

You can see every allowance on the usage page, and we warn you before you reach one. A run already in flight always finishes, so an evaluation is never abandoned half-way.

Question 12

How does billing work?

Accepted Answer

Team is 299 EUR a month plus VAT, billed by invoice; there is no card checkout yet. Enterprise is agreed with you. The free tier needs no payment details at all.

Question 13

Which terms apply to Rhesis Cloud?

Accepted Answer

Rhesis Cloud runs under the SaaS terms and conditions. Free is a free trial phase under Section 14 of those terms, so no availability commitment applies to it.

Question 14

Are there any usage limits when I self-host?

Accepted Answer

No. Quota enforcement ships switched off, so nothing is ever refused because of a limit. Usage is still counted so your admins can see it, but it is not a ceiling.

Question 15

What is licensed how?

Accepted Answer

The core is MIT licensed, and that is where the workflow lives. SSO, RBAC, and API Clients sit at the periphery under a commercial licence, in the Enterprise Edition.

Question 16

Which terms apply when I self-host?

Accepted Answer

The open source core is MIT licensed. Proprietary components you host yourself run under the self-hosting licensing terms; Enterprise agreements are negotiated individually.
