Licensing

Solidean uses a flat annual licensing model designed for developer infrastructure. Pricing scales with how Solidean is used and how critical it becomes, not with developer seats.

No seat counting No telemetry No license server No kill switch

Licenses renew annually. Any version obtained during an active license term may be used and shipped indefinitely: perpetual deployment rights for versions you have obtained.

Licensing Philosophy

Value-aligned

Pricing reflects how Solidean is used, not how many engineers work with it.

Simple

One flat annual license. No seats, no telemetry, no license server.

Perpetual deployment rights

You keep the right to ship versions you integrated.

Explore

For evaluation, learning, research, and early ecosystem growth.

Community Edition

start here

Free for learning, personal projects, research, and evaluation
Full core functionality for non-commercial use
No registration, no approval, no sales contact required
Suitable for prototypes, benchmarks, and evaluation

Not for production commercial use. No redistribution. No SaaS or hosted exposure.

Educational Commercial Edition

€3.2k / year

For commercial software primarily used in educational contexts
Classroom tools, training environments, academic engineering software
Redistribution in education-focused commercial products

Product must be primarily education-oriented. Not for general commercial redistribution.

Build

For teams integrating Solidean into tools, products, and production workflows.

Internal Tooling: Solidean stays inside your organization.
Redistribution: Solidean is used in software or services delivered to customers.

Internal Tooling

Redistribution

Indie

Indie – Internal

€350 / year

For small teams and early-stage companies adopting Solidean commercially
Internal tools, pipelines, editors, and research or development workflows

Not for redistribution, SaaS, or customer-facing services.

Indie – Redistribution

€1.4k / year per product (after traction)

For small teams embedding Solidean inside a commercial product
You only pay once your product gains real user traction

Not for competing SDKs, geometry tools, or Boolean-as-a-Service.

Pro

Pro – Internal

€14k / year

For established companies with significant internal dependency on Solidean
Production pipelines, internal tools, and manufacturing workflows

Not for redistribution, SaaS, or customer-facing services.

Pro – Redistribution

€32k / year per product

For established companies embedding Solidean in commercial products
Desktop, server, and offline software distributed at scale

Not for competing SDKs, geometry tools, or Boolean-as-a-Service.

Indie eligibility is based on team size and revenue thresholds. If you are unsure whether Indie or Pro applies to your organization, get in touch.

All commercial licenses include updates during the active license term and email support.

Early adopters will have the option to lock in their pricing tier as long as their license remains active.

Typical scenarios:

Internal geometry pipeline → Tooling license
CAD or modeling product → Redistribution license
Research or evaluation → Community Edition

Scale

For load-bearing geometry infrastructure.

Enterprise

Enterprise engagements are for organizations where Solidean becomes critical infrastructure and requires deeper collaboration.

This is typically relevant when:

Geometric correctness and robustness are business-critical
Production systems require guaranteed support response times
Deployments span many systems, sites, or customer environments
Legal or operational risk requires indemnification
Long-term platform or roadmap alignment matters

Enterprise is not simply a larger plan. It is a commercial partnership built around your deployment, risk profile, and operational requirements.

May include

Formal SLA with defined response commitments
Priority support and direct engineering access
Indemnification coverage
Custom engineering and performance work
Long-term platform and roadmap commitments
Multi-year pricing and deployment planning

Support & Custom Engineering

Usage rights come with the license. Support, consulting, and custom engineering are available separately across all tiers.

Integration & Onboarding

Installation and build system integration
API walkthrough and initial setup guidance
Architecture advice for embedding Solidean into your pipeline

Performance & Engineering

Performance profiling and tuning for your specific workloads
Workflow and data pipeline architecture review
Custom geometry work and specialized feature development

We are a small, highly technical team. When you reach out, you talk directly to the engineers building Solidean.
