Questions

Frequently asked

Is the open core really free?

Yes. The engine and the base version of every feature run free, in production, at any scale — forever. Source-available, and Apache-2.0 after three years.

What's in Pro?

Managed WAF (auto rules, bot detection, threat intel), distributed / clustered Redis, the team dashboard (RBAC, SSO, audit, analytics, flow debugger), and OpenTelemetry tracing. One self-host license — included in Cloud and Enterprise.

Do I need a license for my apps?

No. Your apps are yours — build, sell, and distribute them freely.

What needs a commercial license?

Only the Pro add-on, managed hosting (Cloud), enterprise support (Enterprise), or embedding the engine in another product (OEM).
