The distribution is free.
You pay for people and guarantees.

Everything the distribution does is open source, Apache-2.0, with no gated features and no open-core split. Money changes hands when you want our hands: deployment, migration, emergencies — or the per-node subscription.

Open source — $0, forever

The full distribution: HA cluster, PostgreSQL failover, backups & PITR, monitoring, config as code, tested upgrades, all drills. Apache-2.0 — there is no rug to pull. Install it yourself →

Subscription

Self-hosted subscription — $1,500 per node, per year

For teams that run the distribution themselves and want someone on the hook for the boring, critical parts:

Offline / air-gapped bundles

All install and upgrade artifacts packaged for environments with no internet at deploy time.

CVE tracking

When an upstream CVE affects deployments made by this distribution, you get the version bump and the required operator actions.

Tested upgrade runbooks

Step-by-step runbooks for every supported path — the same ones our nightly CI matrix executes.

Direct access

You talk to the engineers who build keelinfra, not an account manager. EU business hours.

Early access

Priced per node, not per user — a 3-node HA cluster is $4,500/year no matter how many people log in. Subscriptions open when the air-gapped bundle ships; joining the early-access list locks this price.

FAQ

Straight answers

Do I need the subscription to run keelinfra?

No. The distribution is complete without it — install, upgrades, drills, monitoring, everything. The subscription adds offline bundles, CVE guidance and people.

Per node vs per user — the math

A 3-node HA cluster serving 50,000 users is $4,500/year. A managed tier at $599/month is $7,188/year before add-ons — and per-MAU vendors charge multiples of that. Growth costs you nothing here.

What does "fixed scope" mean?

We agree on the deliverables and the price before work starts. If it takes us longer, that's our problem, not your invoice.

What are your support hours?

EU business hours, response within one business day. Emergency help is best-effort — we do not sell a 24/7 SLA we cannot staff honestly.

Invoicing?

EU-based, invoices with VAT. Standard rails — no procurement portal required.
