Premium services
Everything that makes Business OS trustworthy ships free, forever, in full source. We charge for exactly one thing: ongoing work. Operating infrastructure, holding credentials, building your implementation. Never for taking features away.
The non-negotiable rule
The audit log, the single side-effect gate, human-in-the-loop approvals and briefs, segregation of duties, spend caps, receipts, the global pause, and the security floor of tenant isolation, encrypted credentials and secret redaction. These are the product's core trust promise, not an upsell. They are never gated behind a paid tier, and you can always export your own audit data, in a documented format, at no cost.
Our test for every future feature: “Would removing it weaken the safety of a self-hosted deployment, or the owner's ability to verify what the system did and why?” If yes, it's open, free, and never gated. No exceptions.
What we charge for
The open core makes each of these legitimate: you can verify everything the system does, and you can leave at any time with all your data. That's what makes paying for the service on top an easy decision.
We run it so you don't have to: provisioning, backups, upgrades, per-tenant budget metering and billing, operated by the people who built it.
Fair because: operating a service is ongoing labor and infrastructure. The software itself stays free to self-host.Managed multi-year audit retention, streaming connectors into your SIEM, and compliance report packs ready for your auditor.
Fair because: the log is free and raw export always stays free. The retention and streaming service is infrastructure.SAML and OIDC single sign-on plus SCIM provisioning, wired into your identity provider by us.
Fair because: enterprise identity plumbing is enterprise-only. Built-in auth (sessions, RBAC, custom roles) stays free.We hold and rotate the credentials, monitor the connectors, and back them with uptime SLAs, so your integrations never quietly rot.
Fair because: the connector library ships opt-in and free. Managed operation and credential custody is a service.Setup, process discovery, and template authoring for your business, by us or by a certified partner. Accountants and consultancies: build a practice on Business OS.
Fair because: these are services, not software. Templates you or a partner author are your IP; the SDK is the seam.The board/governance app and the independent assurance co-sign app: separate products that watch, direct and countersign the OS from above the gate. Learn how the three work together →
Fair because: they're commercial because the open core's receipts and gate make their substrate trustworthy.How the boundary works
No /ee folder. No dual license. Commercial code lives in separate products;
the repo you clone is the whole product, and it's yours.
Tell us about your operations and we'll scope an implementation, or point you at the template that already does the job for free.
