We continuously enhance the core capabilities of NocoBase and keep it open source, while also developing more open source and free plugins. Most small businesses and teams can meet their needs with the free community edition. When your business has higher requirements for security, technical architecture, and technical support, you can opt for the commercial edition.
Features marked with * will be released in the fourth quarter of 2024.
No. The core of NocoBase and open-source plugins are licensed under the AGPL 3.0 license. As long as you comply with the license and retain the copyright information and version information of NocoBase on the interface, you can use it for free.
You need to purchase a commercial license if you have any of the following requirements:
Of course. Commercial plugins and commercial licenses are independent of each other. Commercial plugins provide advanced features and do not open source. They can be installed on either an open-source or commercial licensed NocoBase.
You have the options to:
There is no expiration date, and no annual payment is required. Once you purchase a commercial license or commercial plugin, you will receive permanent license for the current root version, which can be used permanently.
The Standard Edition is limited to authorized internal company use only; the Professional and Enterprise Editions can be used to develop applications for your own clients or to sell the developed applications to clients.
Commercial plugins are tied to the license, and the scope of use is determined by the type of license. If you have a Professional or Enterprise Edition license, you can use the purchased commercial plugins to develop applications for your clients.
You can upgrade from a lower edition to a higher edition, but you cannot downgrade from a higher edition to a lower one. When upgrading, you just have to pay the price difference based on the remaining upgrade period. For example, if you are currently on the Standard edition with 6 months remaining in the upgrade period, and you upgrade to the Professional edition, you need to pay the price difference: 8000-800*(6/12)=7600
We plan to develop a platform for self-service license and plugin purchases based on NocoBase in the fourth quarter of 2024. Until then, please contact us via email to discuss solutions with our core team and complete your purchase.
