Self-Host vs Hosted Omentir
Use hosted if you want the product without operating providers. Self-host if you will run Docker, Firebase, Unipile, and Gemini or Vertex yourself. The code is the same MIT repo. This is not a competitor page.
Hosted, and Self-host
Hosted
- Code
- The public MIT application, run for you at omentir.com
- How you turn it on
- Sign up on omentir.com
- Who operates Firebase, Unipile, Gemini
- Omentir. You do not bring those keys
- Price
- Pro $49 per month: 1 user, 1 LinkedIn account, unlimited agents, leads, and campaigns, API, email support. Enterprise is unlimited users and accounts, SSO, dedicated onboarding, priority support
- Booking guarantee
- Minimum three bookings per week or you pay nothing, on eligible hosted plans. Read the Minimum Booking Guarantee
- Name and logo
- You are using Omentir
Self-host
- Code
- The same public MIT application. github.com/vanshyadav1408/Omentir
- How you turn it on
- RUN_LOCALLY=TRUE, Docker, your own provider accounts
- Who operates Firebase, Unipile, Gemini
- You. Firestore, Unipile, and Gemini or Vertex are yours to bill and debug
- Price
- No Omentir subscription. You still pay Google, Unipile, and hosting. Self-host is not free infrastructure
- Booking guarantee
- Not included. The guarantee is hosted-only
- Name and logo
- The MIT license does not grant the Omentir name or logo. Public forks rebrand

When hosted Omentir fits
Start hosted if you have not proved the offer yet. Pro is $49 per month for one user and one LinkedIn account, with unlimited agents, leads, and campaigns, API access, and email support. Omentir operates Unipile, Firebase, and Gemini. The three-bookings-per-week or pay-nothing promise applies only on eligible hosted workspaces. Read the policy before you treat it as a slogan.
Enterprise is the path when you need unlimited users and LinkedIn accounts, SSO, dedicated onboarding, or priority support. That is still hosted. It is not a self-host SKU.
When you should self-host
Self-host when a reviewer needs the app on your machines, when residency is a real constraint, or when you already run Docker and provider accounts and do not want another SaaS. Budget time for Unipile, Firebase, and Gemini or Vertex before you have learned anything about buyers. That is a week-two project if the motion is unproven, and a day-one project if the constraint is already known.
Forks may modify the MIT code. They may not present themselves as Omentir or omentir.com. The name and logo are not in the software license.
One repo, two ways to run it
Hosted Omentir and a self-hosted install are the same application. There is no secret second codebase. You pay hosted for operations, providers, support, and the commercial packaging. You pay self-host with your time and your vendor bills. If a page pretended these were two products, it would be lying.
The switch in the repo is RUN_LOCALLY=TRUE. That turns off hosted auth, billing, marketing, and hosted-only mail. You still need Firebase or Firestore, Unipile for LinkedIn, and Gemini or Vertex for the model. Docker is the supported path. It is not offline.
When neither path is the buy
Frequently asked questions
No. Hosted Omentir runs the public MIT application. You pay for operations, providers, and support, not for a hidden fork.
No. The Minimum Booking Guarantee is hosted-only. Self-host customers run their own providers and are not on that policy.
No. The MIT license covers the software. The Omentir name and logo are separate. Public forks should use their own branding.
No. Hosted MCP is https://omentir.com/api/agent/v1/mcp. Self-host if you need the app on your infrastructure, not because you wanted Claude.
If you have not sent a note yet, do not start with Docker
Use hosted Pro for the first test. Self-host when ops is the actual requirement.
