Core offering

GreenFrame provides an open-source command-line tool and a paid enterprise web platform that measure, attribute, and help reduce the CO2 emissions of websites and web applications. It uses Playwright-based browser automation and Docker-isolated containers to collect per-component system metrics, then converts them into energy (Watt-hours) and carbon (g eq. CO2) figures via a proprietary scientific model built with CNRS, with optional CI/CD enforcement of configurable carbon budgets. Enterprise tier adds a web UI, online reports, comparative analysis, user management, and embeddable score widgets, with Professional Services available for custom implementation.

Product overview

GreenFrame is an open-source carbon footprint measurement and optimization platform for web applications, consisting of three main offerings: the free GreenFrame CLI (open-source core product) providing command-line analysis capabilities with CI integration and carbon budget enforcement; the GreenFrame Enterprise platform (subscription-based) offering a web UI, online reports, comparative analysis, user management, and embeddable widgets; and Professional Services for custom development and training. The platform also includes the proprietary GreenFrame Model (open-source) developed with CNRS researchers for scientific carbon calculations. The architecture relies on Playwright for browser automation and Docker for container isolation.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• GreenFrame CLI (Open-source) Free open-source command-line interface that lets developers author custom declarative user scenarios, run full-stack analyses across browser, network, server, and database, integrate the tool into CI pipelines, and enforce configurable carbon budgets that fail builds when thresholds are exceeded. Targeted at individual developers and engineering teams adopting the tool self-serve.
• GreenFrame Enterprise Subscription web platform that extends the open-source CLI with a web UI, online reports, carbon emissions timeline visualizations, in-depth reporting, comparative analysis, user management, and embeddable score widgets. Sold to large organizations (media, hospitality, consumer goods, advertising, healthcare) needing centralized, multi-user measurement, reporting, and governance of website CO2 emissions.
• Professional Services Bespoke custom development, training, and consulting engagements that help clients integrate GreenFrame into their environments, build custom scenarios, and operationalize carbon measurement. Billed via annual payment or per-project arrangements.
• GreenFrame Model Open-source scientific calculation model that converts system metrics (CPU, Network I/O, memory, disk usage, datacenter PUE, screens, and intranet vs. internet consumption) into energy consumption in Watt-hours and carbon emissions in grams of CO2 equivalent. Distributed as a free, peer-reviewed model and used as the computational core of both GreenFrame CLI and GreenFrame Enterprise.

Partnerships

One partnership is on record.

• CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique)coreStrategic or Co-development PartnerPartnership with French national research institution CNRS and French research teams to develop a scientifically-grounded carbon measurement model. The model is free and open-source, based on peer-reviewed scientific publications, and accounts for CPU, Network I/O, memory, disk usage, datacenter PUE, and screens.

Scale indicators3 records

Direct peers

• Ecograder: Ecograder provides a website sustainability score based on page weight, hosting provider greenness, and other heuristics. It is a free, lightweight web carbon scoring tool overlapping with GreenFrame's open-source offering, though without scientific modeling or CI integration.
• Greenspector: Greenspector is a French company that measures the environmental footprint of websites, mobile apps, and software using proprietary methodology. It is the closest direct competitor to GreenFrame in the French market, with broader scope (mobile + web) and an enterprise-focused GTM.
• Website Carbon: Website Carbon offers a free web-based calculator that estimates the carbon footprint of any webpage. It is the most well-known consumer-facing web carbon measurement tool and competes directly with GreenFrame for developer and enterprise attention, though it lacks GreenFrame's component-level attribution and CI/CD enforcement.
• Cloud Carbon Footprint (Thoughtworks): An open-source tool from Thoughtworks that estimates energy and carbon emissions from cloud usage (AWS, GCP, Azure). It overlaps with GreenFrame on the measurement methodology axis but focuses on cloud infrastructure rather than web application-level emissions.

Broad incumbents

• Watershed: Watershed is a well-funded enterprise carbon accounting platform that helps companies measure, report, and reduce their carbon footprint across Scope 1, 2, and 3. It is a broader incumbent competing for the same ESG budget that GreenFrame targets, and could add web/digital emissions measurement as a feature.
• Persefoni: Persefoni offers an AI-powered carbon accounting and management platform for enterprises to measure and manage their climate footprint. As a broad enterprise carbon platform with significant venture funding, it competes for the same corporate sustainability procurement dollars and could expand into digital/web emissions.
• Sweep: Sweep is a French-founded enterprise sustainability platform that helps businesses map, reduce, and report their emissions. It is a regional incumbent comparable to GreenFrame on geography (France/Europe) and on the enterprise carbon data platform category, though it operates at broader Scope 1–3 rather than digital-only.

Emerging players

• Carbonyte: Carbonyte is an emerging platform offering digital product carbon footprint measurement and CI/CD-integrated carbon budgeting. It is directly comparable to GreenFrame on the CI-integrated carbon budget value proposition and represents a competing open/emerging approach to web carbon enforcement in development pipelines.
• The Green Web Foundation: A non-profit that maintains a directory of green hosting providers and offers developer tools (e.g., Greencheck) to verify whether sites run on green energy. It is comparable as an open-source, developer-facing sustainability infrastructure provider, but addresses hosting greenness rather than usage emissions.
• Digital Beacon: Digital Beacon is an emerging SaaS platform that helps digital teams measure and reduce the environmental impact of their websites and digital products. It directly overlaps with GreenFrame's web carbon measurement focus and represents an emerging competitor in the digital sustainability tooling space.
