Is USD 5,000 really all of it?
Yes: one payment, no licence renewal, no per-seat or per-request fee, and no separate charge for later versions. What you never stop paying is the vendors, for the tokens your own applications use — the gateway meters and caps that spend, it does not resell it.
What exactly do I receive?
Access to a private repository holding the full source at the version you bought, and every release after it. It is a pnpm workspace: Node 26, TypeScript, SQLite and Redis, with a Docker Compose profile, a Caddy configuration and Litestream replication in deploy/. There is nothing to compile that you cannot see.
How do updates reach me?
As commits and tags in that repository. Each release says what changed, and any release that changes the data model ships with its migration, a dry-run report, a check that compares a copy of your data before and after, and a rollback that has been proved to run on the migrated data. That is how this product's own releases are made.
May I change it? May I resell it?
Change it freely for your own organisation, including running it for your own customers. The licence does not permit reselling or redistributing the source itself as a product. If you want to do that, talk to us — it is a different agreement, not a refusal.
What if I would rather not run it myself?
Use the hosted service on this site instead. It is priced per customer, because what it costs depends on which vendors you use, how much, and whether you bring your own vendor keys or run on prepaid credit. Ask us for a quote.
Do I still pay the model vendors?
Yes, whichever way you have it. With your own vendor keys the vendor bills you directly and the gateway meters and caps that spend. With prepaid credit on the hosted service, requests run on our vendor keys and are deducted from your balance, which can never go below zero.
