The Lens

By Erik Loyd, SaaS CEO and former COO/CFO of an AWS Premier Partner.

Updated Aug 2026

Infrahub treats infrastructure data like source code: a graph database with branches, peer review and CI applied to your network model. Propose a change, review the diff, merge it. That is a materially different idea from the NetBox model of a system of record you edit in place.

Apache 2.0 and free to self-host. OpsMill builds it and sells enterprise offerings alongside, quoted rather than listed. The versioning is the reason to look: you can stage a change across the whole model and see exactly what it touches before anything reaches a device.

Small teams: NetBox is more mature and better supported. Teams whose network changes already run through a review process: this maps onto how you already work and removes a translation step between intent and record.

The catch is age. Infrahub is early next to NetBox, the community is small and the plugin ecosystem barely exists yet. That is a real risk for something intended to be your source of truth, so pilot it properly before it becomes load-bearing.

Free vs Self-Hosted vs Paid

free self hosted paid cloud

Free (self-hosted): The core platform. Graph-based data model, version control with branching and diffing, peer review workflows, CI integration, GraphQL API and a schema you define. Apache 2.0.

Self-hosted cost: Docker Compose based, with a graph database and message queue behind it. More moving parts than NetBox, and the concepts take longer to learn.

Paid: OpsMill sells enterprise editions and support. Quote-based, no published pricing.

Maturity note: young relative to NetBox and Nautobot. Treat production use as a pilot decision.

Free and Apache-licensed with a genuinely novel versioning model, but early enough that maturity is the real cost.
