💡 Pro tip: Start with the free tier to test if Rivet fits your workflow before upgrading to a paid plan.
This guide does not establish that Rivet has an active coupon, education discount, or seasonal promotion. Confirm current offers on the vendor's website before paying.
Yes — Rivet is MIT-licensed open source with no paid tier. There's no hosted service; you run the desktop editor locally and deploy the Node runtime yourself.
No. Rivet's runtime is TypeScript-only via the @ironclad/rivet-node npm package. Python teams should look at LangGraph, Langflow, or CrewAI instead.
The @ironclad/rivet-node runtime opens a WebSocket server; the desktop editor connects to it. As your app executes a graph, each node lights up in the editor with its inputs, outputs, and any errors. This is Rivet's biggest differentiator vs. text-based agent frameworks.
Yes — that's the intended deployment. The desktop editor stays on your machine; the runtime library ships inside your Node.js service. There's no cloud dependency.
LangGraph if your stack is Python and you want the largest ecosystem. Rivet if your stack is TypeScript, you want a visual editing surface, and the remote debugger sounds valuable. For simple linear chains, both are overkill.
