Write a ReviewYes, Goose is completely free and open source under the Apache 2.0 license. You only pay for the LLM API calls to your chosen provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, local models, etc.).
Goose is developed and maintained by Block (formerly Square), a financial technology company. It has 359+ contributors and an active open source community.
Goose focuses on autonomous task execution - it completes entire workflows end-to-end rather than just suggesting code. It works with any LLM provider, runs locally, and is fully open source. Claude Code is tied to Claude models and requires a subscription.
Goose supports any language model through a bring-your-own-key approach. This includes OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google, local models, and more. You can configure multiple models for different tasks to optimize cost and performance.
Goose runs locally and can work in air-gapped environments when paired with local models. The core agent runs on your machine without requiring cloud connectivity (except for LLM API calls if using cloud providers).
