aegnt-27 Licensing FAQ

General Questions

Q: Why dual licensing?

A: We want aegnt-27 to be freely available for learning, personal projects, and open source development, while ensuring sustainable development through commercial licensing revenue.

Q: Why is commercial licensing priced higher than alternatives?

A: aegnt-27 delivers measurably superior performance:

  • 98%+ AI detection resistance vs industry average 80-85%
  • Sub-2ms latency vs competitors' 50-200ms response times
  • 27 distinct behavioral patterns vs basic 3-5 pattern systems
  • Local-first processing vs cloud-dependent solutions
  • Production-ready architecture vs experimental proof-of-concepts

The premium pricing reflects the 20% performance advantage and eliminates the need for multiple competing solutions.

Q: Is there a volume discount for multiple licenses?

A: Yes! Annual billing saves $1,000-$4,000 per license. Enterprise customers get custom pricing for 10+ licenses.

Q: Can I try it commercially before buying a license?

Q: What happens if I start non-commercial and want to go commercial?

A: You have 30 days from the first commercial use to obtain a commercial license. We're flexible with timing for legitimate businesses.

Non-Commercial License
