Hi Team, we are planning to use PACT for API Testing. Wanted to know is there a license involved in using PACTbrokers and Pact io? If so where can i look at that. If not, if Pact being a Open source how the PACTs are secured when its published in PACT io?

afaik, you only need to pay if you want to go with Pactflow. Otherwise it will be free (if you stick with Pact Broker)

Pact Broker is open source (MIT Licensed) as is Pact (primarily MIT licensed)

A key difference is that Pact offers no hosting - you have to host the broker yourself (there’s a docker image to make this straightforward). I think of Pactflow as a paid hosted broker with extra features (and a team of experts for support). I don’t work for Pactflow though, so that might not be the most accurate summary

Pretty much, i’m not sure Marketing would approve of that message though 😆

I think “with extra features” is definitely underselling it
