Watching your own compliance footprint costs nothing and will keep costing
nothing. Serving one more team is close to free for us, and the open data
is how people find this in the first place. Money changes hands only when
the record goes into someone else's product.

The catch is honest and small. Serving one more team costs us almost
nothing: no model runs when you query, only a bounded database read. What
does cost money is watching the sources and enriching what comes in, and
that expense is the same whether ten or a thousand teams read the result.
So the free tier is not charity, it is arithmetic. What we ask in return
is that you do not repackage the record into a product you sell without
talking to us.
Where exactly is the line between free and paid?
Watching your own systems is free, without limit in time. Putting our
data into something you ship to your own customers is commercial re-use.
The open dataset is published under CC BY 4.0, so attribution-bearing use
is already permitted by that licence. A commercial licence adds what CC BY
does not give you: white-label use without attribution, a stable schema
with notice before it changes, a freshness commitment, warranty terms and
someone to call.
Why not a €29 subscription like others have?
Because it would be the wrong trade for both sides. A cheap
subscription needs volume to matter, volume needs support, and support is
the one thing we cannot scale right now without doing it badly. We would
rather have a handful of licence customers with contracts and a direct
line than hundreds of small ones with a ticket queue. If that changes
because real demand shows up, we will say so publicly.
What happens to free access when you start charging?
Nothing. The team tier is not a promotion that expires. If we ever have
to change it, existing users keep what they use and hear about it well in
advance. The public feed, the open dataset and the reference pages stay
open regardless.
What about VAT?
Nothing is invoiced for the team tier, so the question does not arise
there. Licences are invoiced through ligea GmbH with the usual EU B2B
reverse-charge treatment.
