How is Kanject different from Firebase, Supabase, Convex, or Amplify?
Firebase, Supabase, and Convex are excellent hosted platforms for fast-moving teams. Kanject is built for .NET teams that want the same product velocity while keeping their backend infrastructure and data plane in their own AWS account.
Are BaaS modules included in the Core tiers?
No. Core Launch, Starter, and Team license the 12 Core libraries only. BaaS modules — Identity, Wallet, FileServer, Forms, Insights, InstantMessaging, NotificationHub, EventHub, Identity.Server — are purchased individually. All Access Enterprise is the only tier that bundles every BaaS module.
How does the seat cap work?
Seats are named developer seats on the org license. Devs who never touch the Kanject NuGet feed don't count. If you outgrow a tier mid-year, you can upgrade; the new tier prorates against the time remaining on the current term.
What does “per environment” mean for BaaS?
One production deploy is one environment. Staging, regional pilots, and per-customer sandboxes each count separately. All Access Enterprise rolls every environment into the commercial model so the count stops mattering.
Do I pay AWS separately?
Yes. Kanject deploys into your AWS account, so AWS bills you directly for usage. We charge for the libraries, modules, release channel, and support — never for the infrastructure underneath.
Is there a free tier or free trial?
Yes — for tooling. The Kanject CLI and the DynoStudio workspace are free for individuals, open-source projects, and companies under $250K in revenue or funding raised over the trailing twelve months. Production is a different lane: production deploys, runtime libraries, and BaaS modules require a paid Kanject license. Free to build, paid to ship.
How does free Developer Tools eligibility work?
Self-certification — tick a box, no sales call, no audit. If your company crosses $250K in trailing-twelve-month revenue or funding, you have 90 days to move to a paid Kanject license. The commercially weighty parts — production deploys, runtime libraries, BaaS modules, and DynoStudio's modelling layer — are tied to the license itself, so eligibility only ever governs the free tooling.
Is DynoStudio sold separately?
Not during the first launch period. DynoStudio is bundled with paid Kanject Core, BaaS, and All Access licenses while we learn how teams use it in production. Standalone DynoStudio pricing may arrive later, but the launch offer keeps evaluation simple: free workspace for eligible early teams, included DynoStudio for paid license holders.
What about source code and IP risk?
All Access Enterprise includes source code escrow — the source is released to you if Kanject ceases operations — and IP indemnification on the libraries you license. Core tiers include a binary license. Source access can be scoped separately during procurement.
What happens if I don't renew?
What you've shipped keeps running. Your deployed binaries are licensed indefinitely, renewal or not. Non-renewal ends updates, new versions, support, and the generator licence for new builds — renewals buy updates and support, not permission for what's already in production.
Will my renewal price go up?
No. Your renewal never costs more than your current term while you stay continuously subscribed. List-price changes apply to new customers and lapsed subscriptions that return — not to a live one. The only way your number changes is an upgrade you choose: a bigger tier, more modules, more environments.
If I downgrade or cancel, what happens to my data?
It stays in your AWS account. Cancelling means you stop receiving updates and support, but deployed binaries and your AWS resources remain yours.
On-prem or air-gapped deployments?
Available on All Access Enterprise. We scope private NuGet mirroring, deployment templates, and outbound-network limits during discovery.
