Questions
Common licensing questions.
Can I use Director-AI for free?
Yes. The AGPL-3.0 licence is free for research, personal use, and open-source projects. If your project is also open-source, you never need a commercial licence.
When do I need a commercial licence?
If you use Director-AI in closed-source software or a SaaS product, AGPL-3.0 requires you to release your full source. A commercial licence removes that obligation.
What does “locked for life” mean?
Founding Member is limited to 10 spots at CHF 290/yr. Once you buy, that price never increases while you renew. When all 10 are taken, the tier closes.
Can I switch tiers later?
Yes. Upgrade from Founding Member to Professional or Enterprise at any time; the difference is prorated.
Is there a free trial of the commercial version?
The open-source version is the full product. There is no feature difference — only the licence terms change. Try it on PyPI, then buy when you ship.
Need a custom arrangement?
OEM licensing, volume discounts, academic, or non-profit terms — get in touch and we will find the right fit.
