Overview
Snipe-IT is an open-source IT asset management application maintained under the Grokability organisation on GitHub, where the repository is licensed under AGPL-3.0 and has about 15,200 stars[16]. The self-hosted edition is free, and Grokability states that Snipe-IT “is and always will be free”[15].
Hosted plans have no asset or user caps: Basic Hosting costs US$39.99 per month or US$399.99 per year, Small Business Hosting US$99.99 per month or US$999.99 per year, and Dedicated Hosting US$249.99 per month or US$2,499.99 per year, with medium and large dedicated options at US$5,000 and US$7,500 per year; API rate limits rise from 120 calls per minute on Basic to 240 on Small Business[15]. Snipe-IT lacks native network discovery and software licence normalisation, so organisations often populate it through integrations or scripts, and self-hosting means the customer maintains the server and upgrades.
