Flat-fee flexibility

Annual subscription

Our annual licenses are available with an upfront payment that covers the entire year. You can choose between two straightforward licensing models:

Per Server License

Pay based on the number of Lightstreamer Broker instances you deploy, with no restrictions on the number of concurrent clients. You decide how many servers to license, and we don’t factor in the number of CPUs or cores used by each server.

Per Client License

Pay based on the number of concurrent client connections, independent of the number of servers. You select the peak number of concurrent connections, and if this number is exceeded, the system remains operational, with any additional usage charges reconciled every six months.

Pay-as-you-go

PAYG plans

Our Pay-as-you-go licenses offer monthly plans that provide the flexibility to deploy as many servers as needed and serve as many clients as required, without having to commit in advance. Select the billing method that best suits your needs:

Per Core-Hour License

Billing is based on the total number of core-hours your servers have operated each month, regardless of client usage.

Per Client-Hour License

Billing is determined by the total number of hours clients have been connected to your servers each month, independent of the number of servers deployed.
