Transifex Native is an open source initiative that is available on [GitHub](https://github.com/transifex/transifex-python) for replication, forking, etc. For the time being, in order to use Transifex Native, you’ll need a Transifex account. If you are interested on using Transifex Native for your open-source project Transifex has a free of charge plan. If you are developing a proprietary software you will need to join one of the [Transifex plans](https://www.transifex.com/pricing/) to leverage Transifex Native. Our goal is to make Transifex Native independent from the Transifex application, so please check for updates! ---

Hi @Mwithi, This is our open source plan where projects within the organisation should be created as described [here](https://docs.transifex.com/projects/open-source-project). Does this answer your question? ---

Thank you @nina, we already have that, I was referring to “Transifex Native” specifically, and I got this other information from your very helpful staff: > **[Managing a Transifex Native project | Transifex Documentation](https://docs.transifex.com/transifex-native-sdk-overview/managing-a-transifex-native-project)** > > In this article, you can find information on creating and managing a Transifex Native project and the content you add to that project. I didn’t get the first step required was “Create new project” 😃 Thanks! ---
