Yes, Rancher (community release) itself is completely free and open-source. It's licensed under the Apache License 2.0, which allows you to use, modify, and distribute the software freely.

Rancher Prime builds upon the free, open-source Rancher software by offering a set of features and benefits specifically designed for enterprise environments. This is an optional paid subscription that provides additional features like access to Rancher Support with guaranteed support response times, trusted registry, fortified security and seamless integration to other SUSE products.
