Professional DynoStudio is included with every paid Kanject license.
Core, BaaS modules, and All Access Enterprise all bundle the Professional DynoStudio license at no extra cost. The modelling layer — POCO-derived schemas, the visual model builder, schema diff and lint — is driven by Kanject.Dyno annotations, so it lights up the moment you hold a Kanject license.
Community, Professional, and Enterprise, side by side.
The everyday workspace and its safety rails are the same in all three — typed queries, the “executes as” disclosure, read-only stages. Professional adds the advanced PartiQL dialect, interactive transactions and configurable query caps; Enterprise adds the support, terms and scale a larger team needs.

The questions buyers actually ask.
Is DynoStudio free?
Yes, for non-commercial use — individuals, hobby projects, open source, education, and companies under $250K in revenue or funding raised over the trailing twelve months. The free tier covers the everyday workspace: connect, browse, the item editor, typed PartiQL (reads, writes, INNER joins and IN-subqueries), code export and the ⌘K command bar — every action still shown as the native request before it runs. The advanced dialect (outer joins, aggregates, correlated subqueries, set operations) and interactive transactions are part of Professional. Commercial use needs a Professional or Enterprise license.
What counts as commercial use?
Using DynoStudio for a company's revenue-generating work once that company is over $250K in trailing-twelve-month revenue or funding. Below that threshold — and for individuals, open source, and education — the non-commercial license covers you. Eligibility is self-certified; there is no audit.
What is the difference between Professional and Enterprise?
Professional is the self-serve per-developer license ($20/dev/mo or $200/dev/yr): the full workspace including the advanced PartiQL dialect, interactive transactions, configurable query caps and saved queries, with priority email support. Enterprise keeps everything in Professional and adds a dedicated support contact, a response-time SLA, and volume licensing on a signed agreement billed by invoice — with team governance, SSO/SAML and managed ops on the roadmap. If priority email support is enough, Professional is the one; reach for Enterprise when you need a named contact, an SLA, or procurement-friendly terms for a larger team.
I already pay for Kanject — do I pay for DynoStudio too?
No. Every paid Kanject Core, BaaS, and All Access license includes the Professional DynoStudio license at no extra cost, so DynoStudio is never a second invoice for a Kanject customer. Enterprise — the dedicated support contact and SLA — is a separate upgrade on top; talk to sales if you need it.
How is the commercial license counted, and how is it billed?
Per active developer — the people who actually open the studio, not your whole headcount. Professional bills monthly or annually (commit annually for a discount); Enterprise is an annual agreement by invoice. Either way your DynamoDB tables stay in your own AWS account, so there is no usage meter and no per-query charge.
Do I need .NET to use the workspace?
Not for the workspace — connect, browse, and query any DynamoDB account with no .NET involved. The modelling layer is the exception: pasting annotated POCOs, derived access patterns, and the visual model builder with diff and lint are driven by Kanject.Dyno annotations, so those need a paid Kanject license.
