It would be extremely valuable to offer Rewst instances for personal, non-commercial use by developers and engineers at organizations actively using the platform.

A few key reasons this makes business sense:

Stronger Internal Champions: When team members get to explore Rewst organically outside of structured work hours, it deepens their connection to the platform. This personal engagement often translates into stronger internal advocacy when an organization is evaluating whether to continue with Rewst or explore alternatives. In contrast, if those same users are also familiar with other platforms (e.g., n8n, Power Automate) because they can experiment with them freely at home, it puts Rewst at a disadvantage.

Accelerated Onboarding for New Clients: New orgs are more likely to see faster time-to-value when their team includes devs who’ve had the opportunity to tinker with Rewst outside of a business context. Many of the people who naturally excel at building in Rewst are tinkerers at heart — when given the freedom to explore, they almost always will. Encouraging this kind of unstructured experimentation fosters faster learning, deeper comfort with the platform, and a stronger overall automation culture within the organization.

Intrinsic Motivation Fuels Adoption: Speaking from personal experience — I likely would have ramped up far faster in Rewst had I been able to experiment with it for personal projects. Now that I’ve spent meaningful time in the platform, I want to use the skills I’ve developed beyond work-specific automations. Encouraging that level of personal investment strengthens the bond between your users and your platform.

To manage cost and ensure fair usage, instances could be limited in execution volume, frequency, or concurrency — just enough to prevent abuse or strain on infrastructure while still being incredibly useful to the average automation enthusiast.

This isn’t just a perk for devs — it’s a long-term growth strategy. Rewst becomes more than a tool we use at work — it becomes the one we prefer to use everywhere.
