How licensing works

Community

Community is free and limited to 1 Kafka cluster (plus one Connect and one Schema Registry). Ideal for local development, evaluation, and learning.

Pro / Enterprise

Paid plans are licensed per module and cluster to match real-world operations. This keeps pricing fair as you scale across environments.

FAQ

What counts as a “Kafka cluster”?

A Kafka cluster is a distinct Kafka deployment you connect to (e.g., dev / staging / prod, or separate regions).

What's the difference between Pro and Enterprise?

Pro (€49/mo) covers CORE + metrics + diagnostics + multi-user with roles & permissions, for small teams running up to 3 Kafka clusters. Enterprise adds SSO, Test Scenarios (automated produce/consume/assert), KCM Metadata (topic classification & governance), SLA support and air-gapped deployment for regulated or large-scale workloads.
