Pricing
Four editions, one of them free. The paid ones differ in how many servers you license, whether you manage them as a fleet, and support. Never in what you are allowed to host.
On any paid edition, websites, domains, databases, hosting accounts, WordPress sites and Node.js apps are not limited. The server is the limit.
Free is the only edition with product limits, and they are the only limits KLYRN will ever have.
One server, a few sites, the full panel.
FreeThe only edition with product limits.
One server, no limits.

A fleet of servers, managed as one.

Timing. Free and Pro ship with the first release. Business and Enterprise depend on the central KLYRN platform (accounts, licenses, fleet), scheduled for V2. Nothing your server hosts ever depends on a license check: if KLYRN cannot reach the license service, existing sites, backups and certificate renewals keep working, and only the creation of new paid-feature resources is blocked, with an explanation.
Limits
"No limit" means exactly that: the server is the limit. If a number is not in this table, it is not limited.
