# The node is free. The management layer and the hub are commercial.

> The Node is free and open-source. The hub is commercial, as a subscription you operate or fully managed by us.

Two things vary, and they vary independently. **Scale** is how much a deployment covers: a node is one agency, a hub federates across many. **Edition** is which code is in the image: Community is the analyst substrate, Enterprise adds the management and operations layer. The tiers below are the crossings you can buy. There is no community hub, because federation is the whole of what a hub adds.

### Node

Community

Individual agencies, members, pilots

Full open-source agency stack: adapters, normalization, warehouse, visualization, APIs, and MCP. Community support.

## What each edition includes

Subscription and Managed are one column here. They are identical in capability and differ only in who operates the hub, which is on the cards above.
