All Ubuntu appliances are "Free to download and install" but may include an up-sell to paid-for services.

The idea of the Ubuntu Appliance Portfolio is to "Enable secure, self-healing, single-purpose devices," according to Canonical product manager Rhys Davies.

An "Appliance" is a system disk image for a Intel NUC PC or a Raspberry Pi, based on Ubuntu Core, a stripped-down variant of the popular Linux distro.

Currently your choice of Ubuntu appliances is limited to five devices.

Certified appliances have "Continuous testing by Canonical on all certified hardware." Maintained simply means "a commitment from the appliance maintainers to update the underlying snaps for a declared period" and to do their own testing, and Experimental means no commitment at all.
