Perpetual licensing. No recurring fees.
You buy a license once and own it. Deploy indefinitely inside your own environment. Optional annual maintenance gives you ongoing updates and support.
Why perpetual + maintenance?
Regulated enterprises don't like vendor lock-in from annual subscriptions. A perpetual license gives you a larger upfront payment for us (critical for bootstrapping) and lower commitment friction for you — you own the software. Annual maintenance is optional: your deployment keeps running forever without it, but you'll miss new framework updates and security patches.
Annual Maintenance
20% of license price per year. Optional — your deployment keeps running without it.
Common questions
What happens when the maintenance expires?
Your deployment keeps running forever — it's a perpetual license. You just won't receive new probe updates, framework mapping additions, or security patches until you renew.
What happens when the Trial license expires?
The product enters read-only mode: you can view prior scan results but cannot run new scans. Upgrade to Standard to resume.
What's the Design Partner tier and how does it differ from Standard?
Design Partner is a limited-slot tier for our first cohort of customers. You get everything in Standard at a reduced price, plus weekly founder calls, real roadmap influence, and price-locked-for-life — even after we raise rates. In exchange we ask for honest feedback, a published case study (anonymized if needed), and a logo placement. It's the same product, structurally different relationship. Only 3 slots; we close the tier once they're filled.
Can I deploy to multiple environments?
Standard covers one deployment. Enterprise covers up to three (typically dev, staging, and prod). Each deployment has its own license key.
Do you offer source escrow?
Yes, for Enterprise deals of $100K or more. We use a third-party escrow service (Iron Mountain). The cost is passed through to you.
Can we try before we buy?
Yes — request a trial license for full access for 60 days. We also run a live scan during the demo call so you see findings before committing.
Is pricing negotiable?
The ranges above are hypotheses we're refining with our first customers. If your situation is unusual (research institution, consulting firm, multi-year commitment), get in touch.
