πŸ’‘ The RedHat Model for Backend Infrastructure

Your database, security, and backups are too critical to leave unsupported. For less than the cost of a fraction of a DevOps engineer, get expert support that ensures your backend is always secure, backed up, and running smoothly.

Small companies and non-profits: Contact us for discounted licensing. We're an open-source project focused on accessibility, not maximizing profit.

πŸ“ Free for Personal Use

Personal projects, learning, and open-source development remain completely free. As an open-source project, we believe in giving back to the community while sustaining development through commercial support.

If pricing is a barrier, please reach out. We'll work with you to find a solution that fits your budget.

Note: Licensing revenue directly supports the nself team, allowing us to focus full-time on development, security updates, and providing the expert support your business needs.

Frequently asked questions

When do I need a commercial license?

You need a commercial license if you're using nself for any business purpose, including commercial products, SaaS applications, or client projects that generate revenue. Personal projects, learning, and open-source projects can use the free license.

What's the difference between the license tiers?

Standard ($49): Commercial use rights with email support (24-hour response time).
Priority ($99): Includes dedicated account manager, 24/7 support, private Telegram group with direct founder access, and priority feature requests.
Enterprise (Custom): Custom SLA agreements, on-premise deployment support, and bespoke feature development.

Why pay for support when the software is open-source?

Following the RedHat model, you're not paying for the software - you're paying for peace of mind. Your database, security, and backups are mission-critical. For less than 5% of a DevOps engineer's salary, you get expert support ensuring your backend never fails. When something breaks at 3 AM, we're the ones who fix it, not you.

Can I try before buying?

Yes! You can start development with the personal license and upgrade to commercial when you're ready to deploy to production or start generating revenue. We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee if you're not satisfied.

How does the support work?

Standard ($49): Legal licensing for your business plus email support with 24-hour response time.
Priority ($99): 24/7 support through a private Telegram group with our team, dedicated account manager, and priority feature requests - replacing the need for a DevOps team.
Enterprise (Custom): We become your DevOps team - managing your infrastructure, deployments, and operations directly as contractors with custom SLA agreements.

Can I suggest new features?

Absolutely! All license holders can suggest features. Priority and Enterprise customers get their requests prioritized in our development roadmap. For specific features needed urgently, we offer per-feature development pricing based on scope and complexity.

What about updates and new features?

All licenses include access to updates and new features. Priority license holders get early access to new features and their requests are prioritized in our development roadmap. Enterprise customers can commission specific features exclusively.

Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan?

Yes! You can upgrade your plan at any time and we'll prorate the difference. Downgrades take effect at the end of your current billing period. No lock-in contracts or cancellation fees - we believe in earning your business every month.

Do you offer agency or volume licensing?

Yes! We have special pricing for agencies deploying nself for multiple clients, and volume discounts for organizations with multiple projects. Contact us to discuss your specific needs and get a custom quote tailored to your scale.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept all major credit cards, PayPal, and bank transfers for annual payments. Enterprise customers can request invoicing with NET 30 terms. We also accept cryptocurrency for privacy-conscious customers.

Is the license per developer or per project?

Our licenses are per organization, not per developer or project. One license covers unlimited developers and unlimited projects within your organization. This keeps things simple and scalable as you grow.

Why should we trust nself for production?

nself powers production backends for companies worldwide. With v0.3.8's enterprise features including 33+ CLI commands, 115+ shell scripts, automatic SSL, monitoring, and backup systems, we provide the reliability and scale needed for serious deployments. Our support team has experience with everything from startup MVPs to enterprise-scale deployments.

What exactly does "commercial use" mean?

Commercial use includes any project that generates revenue directly or indirectly: SaaS applications, client projects, internal business tools, e-commerce sites, or any application used in a business context. If you're making money from it or using it to support money-making activities, it's commercial use.
