**Gatling version** :  
**Gatling flavor** : [x] java kotlin scala javascript typescript  
**Gatling build tool** : maven gradle sbt bundle npm

I made sure I’ve update my Gatling version to the latest release  
 I read the [guidelines](https://community.gatling.io/t/welcome-in-the-gatling-community-our-code-of-conduct/6462) and [how to ask a question](https://community.gatling.io/t/how-to-ask-a-question/6538) topics.  
 I provided a [SSCCE](http://www.sscce.org/) (or at least, all information to help the community understand my topic)  
 I copied output I observe, and explain what I think should be.

I am a bit confused with the new things in Gatling in terms of paid versions and open-sourced one. It’s been a while since I last used it. Is it true that now you can’t host the free version anywhere, just run it locally, which is no use for a project, basically? When I worked with it only paid thing was Gatling Dashboard, but now it seems to me that a lot of things got restricted and that you can’t leverage the open source version in the same way we used to have a couple of years ago. It kinda forces you to go with the paid plan. Can someone clarify this?

Thanks!  
MJ

No, it’s not true.

You can still download for free the SDK of your choice, use it to run a test on any machine (if you want to deploy on a remote machine and stay on a free side, that’s something for you to build, as it’s always been) and get the HTML reports. These are the core features that have always been available for free.

We’ve also released support for JavaScript/TypeScript as open-source.

We do have dropped some free integrations along the way though: the Jenkins plugin and the Graphite support.  
These had been deprecated and buggy for years, with no interest from the community to help maintaining them (the Jenkins plugin is still pending for a new adopter), while they had way better counterpart on the Enterprise side.
