Q: Can I use Kite for free in my startup?
A: Yes! As long as your company has fewer than 100 employees AND less than $1 million in annual revenue, you can use Kite freely for commercial purposes.
Q: My company just reached 100 employees. What should I do?
A: Congratulations on your growth! Please contact us at support@kitelang.cloud to discuss commercial licensing options. We offer flexible plans for growing companies.
Q: Can I use Kite in my open-source project?
A: Absolutely! Kite is free for open-source projects, provided they maintain a compatible license.
Q: What counts as "hosting Kite as a service"?
A: This means providing Kite infrastructure/execution as a managed service to external customers (like a SaaS offering). Using Kite internally to manage your own infrastructure is always allowed under the free license for companies under 100 employees AND under $1M in annual revenue.
Q: Can consultants use Kite for client projects?
A: Yes! Consultants can use Kite to build infrastructure for clients. The client's company size determines whether they need a commercial license, not the consultant's.
Q: What if my non-profit has over 100 people?
A: Non-profit organizations can use Kite for free regardless of size. Contact us if you need confirmation or documentation.
Q: How do you verify company size?
A: We operate on a trust-based system. We only verify company size if there's a specific inquiry or if we suspect license violation.
Q: What if my company has 150 employees but only $500K revenue?
A: You would need a paid license. A commercial license is required if your company has 100+ employees OR $1M+ revenue. You must stay below BOTH thresholds to use the free license.
Q: Can I contribute to Kite's development?
A: Yes! We welcome contributions. By contributing, you agree to our Contributor License Agreement, which allows us to use your contributions in the project.
