Start free, scale when you're ready

Four editions, one spec. Start free and self-hosted with Community, move to managed hosting with Developer and Team, then add the Backstage and Kubernetes integrations with Enterprise. Your capability YAML, rulesets, and policies carry forward across every edition — no rewrite when you grow. Ikanos and Polychro stay 100% Apache 2.0 in all four.

Core (always Apache 2.0)
