kcap on Kurrent's Own Pages: What They State and Where They Disagree

Key findings

  1. The pricing page's structured data lists Team at US$30 a month for one seat, or US$100 for five seats plus US$25 per additional seat. Kurrent's llms.txt and llms-full.txt print US$15 per person per month billed annually, and llms-full.txt says it was last updated Oct 18, 2026.
  2. The pricing page's Local and Team buttons read Request an invite, while llms.txt describes a self-serve free tier from kcap setup or the browser.
  3. Insights on the free local install reads three ways: Not included on the Redeem page, Your model API key on the pricing page, and absent in the local edition docs.
  4. kcap's license is Kurrent License v1, which GILD describes as source-available: it permits use, copying, distribution and derivative works, and bars offering the software to third parties as a hosted or managed service.

Kurrent's pages give two Team prices, three readings of Insights on the free local edition, and they disagree on whether the desktop app runs on Windows. Read together, they tell a buyer which terms to get in writing before a pilot. GILD found no independent review or deployment account of kcap as of Nov 4, 2026, so this piece rests on Kurrent's pages alone, and Kurrent is a GILD event partner.

Price and access

The pricing page is the page a buyer reads, and its structured data lists Local free for one user, Team at US$30 a month for one seat or US$100 for five seats plus US$25 per additional seat, and custom Enterprise pricing. Its plan table lists Team seats as 1 seat or 5+, so it prints no price for two to four seats.

Kurrent's llms.txt and llms-full.txt describe a free tier of five seats and a Team tier for up to 100 seats at US$15 per person per month billed annually, US$18 billed monthly. The pricing page sends Local and Team through Request an invite, and the local edition docs say the local edition is what Free means while kcap is invite-only.

What the free edition includes

The local edition keeps everything on the machine and listens only on loopback, with no teams, projects, sharing or machine credentials. Kurrent's pages read Insights on it three ways: the Redeem page marks Insights Not included for Local, the pricing page marks the Insights agent Your model API key, and the local edition docs say the Insights agent is absent and the coding agent queries analytics through kcap's tools.

Platforms and releases

The desktop app docs say the app runs on Apple silicon Macs today, with Windows and Linux to follow, while Kurrent's GitHub README lists Windows 10 or later on x64. The hosted agents docs say the local kcap agent commands are not available on Windows.

Kurrent renamed Kurrent Capacitor to kcap in October 2026 and says the product is the same, with a few commands, paths and URLs changed. Its docs call kcap 1.3.1 current stable, released Oct 19, 2026, and GitHub lists v1.4.0 published Oct 27, 2026 as its newest release that is not a prerelease. On the stable channel, CLI updates are capped at the version the workspace server runs.

License

The license text stored for kcap, LICENSE.md in github.com/kurrent-io/kcap, is Kurrent License v1, and Kurrent's llms-full.txt calls the CLI source-available. The license grants use, copying, distribution and derivative works, subject to its limitations.

Those limitations bar providing the software to third parties as a hosted or managed service that gives users access to any substantial set of its features, bar moving, changing, disabling or circumventing its license mechanisms without written authorization, and bar altering or removing the licensor's notices.

Methodology

GILD read Kurrent's pricing page, llms.txt, llms-full.txt, Redeem page, license, GitHub README and releases, and kcap documentation, all stored Nov 4, 2026 and checked by a second reviewer. GILD searched Hacker News, GitHub, X, LinkedIn, YouTube, conference schedules, podcasts and the press the same day, and Reddit in part because its own search could not be reached, and found no independent account of kcap that counts. Kurrent is a GILD event partner.
