Free · open-source
Editions
The node is free. The management layer and the hub are commercial.
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.
