Pricing
Your infrastructure, your keys, your data. Perpetual license — you own the software.
Simple, predictable licensing. No usage metering. No hidden costs.
AGLedger is licensed per unique database instance. High availability (replicas, failover, Aurora, etc.) is included at no additional cost.
Developer Edition
$0
For evaluation, development, proof-of-concept, and single-node production deployments.
Fully unlocked. Not a trial — build, ship, and run in production without upgrading.
Docker Compose deployment
Bundled PostgreSQL
Full mandate / receipt / verdict lifecycle
Custom contract types (JSON Schema)
All deployment modes — Standalone, Gateway, Hub
Federation included
SDKs (TypeScript, Python)
CLI access
Runs fully offline. No registration required.
Enterprise
$8,000
one-time perpetual license, per unique database instance
For teams that need commercial support or run on their own PostgreSQL.
External PostgreSQL (your infrastructure, Aurora, RDS, on-prem)
$4,000/year support — updates, new versions, technical assistance
Everything in Developer Edition
High availability supported (replication, Aurora, etc.)
Source-available for security and compliance review
You own the software. Security fixes are always free. Renew support annually — the software keeps running regardless.
Why this price
$8,000 perpetual is roughly one engineer-week. You could build a signed, hash-chained ledger in that time — a competent team with AI tooling can ship one in a sprint. That's not what you're paying for.
What you can't build in a sprint is counterparty adoption. Federation only works when both sides speak the same protocol. The price is positioned below the build threshold deliberately: you're paying for the network — counterparties already speaking AOAP, schemas already defined, the guarantee that your accountability layer isn't owned by someone else's roadmap.
Code is cheap in the AI era. Adoption is expensive. We positioned accordingly.
Licensing model
AGLedger uses signed, offline-verifiable licenses.
1. Generate an install code from your deployment
2. Retrieve a signed license (manual or API)
3. Apply locally — no call-home required
Licenses are validated using Ed25519 signatures and never require outbound connectivity.
AGLedger fails open. If a license expires, the software continues to operate. Your production system never stops running because of a licensing issue.
