Common questions
Everything you need to know about pricing and licensing.
What is the early bird offer?
The first 200 paid licenses get a locked discounted price — $19/mo instead of $29/mo for Pro, $129/mo instead of $199/mo for Enterprise. The first 50 of those get their price locked for life. The offer ends September 1, 2026, or when all 200 slots are claimed.
What does "price locked" mean?
Your early bird rate stays the same for the lock period (12 months, or lifetime for the first 50 licenses). After the lock period ends, your license renews at the standard price.
Does the license key phone home?
No. License validation is performed entirely offline using Ed25519 signature verification. Your server never contacts our infrastructure.
What happens if my license expires?
You get a 14-day grace period where everything continues to work. After that, Pro/Enterprise features are disabled but your server keeps running with Community-tier capabilities. No data is ever lost.
Can I use the Community edition in production?
Absolutely. Community is production-ready with streaming SSR, auto-TLS, HTTP/2, reverse proxy, compression, all 6 framework adapters, git deploy, metrics, and more. There are no artificial limitations.
How does per-server licensing work?
Each license key is tied to a server fingerprint generated on first activation. You can transfer a license to a new server once per billing cycle, or contact support for immediate transfers.
Can I mix self-hosted and cloud?
Yes. Many teams run production on self-hosted Enterprise for full control and use Cloud Pro for preview environments and staging. The deployment format is identical.
What's included for free vs paid?
Community includes the full rendering engine (V8 SSR, auto-islands, RSC), all networking (TLS, HTTP/2, reverse proxy, compression), all 6 frameworks, git deploy, metrics, and more. Pro adds WAF, HTTP/3, Redis cache, OpenTelemetry, canary deploys, and nginx compat. Enterprise adds eBPF, embedded PHP, multi-tenant RBAC, SSO, and dedicated support.
Is there a free trial for Pro or Enterprise?
Yes. Every new license includes a 14-day free trial with full access to all features. No credit card required to start.
Do you offer volume discounts?
Yes. Contact us for pricing on 10+ servers. Enterprise customers also get custom SLAs, on-boarding assistance, and architecture reviews.
