License Edition Comparison
Why Editions Exist
MaestroHub offers two editions so teams can match the platform to their stage of deployment. Each edition delivers the same intuitive studio and connector library; the choice determines how far you can push scale, automation, and governance.
Lite Edition
Purpose-built for proofs of value, single-site rollouts, or teams consolidating OT and IT data on one node.
- Single-node binary or Docker Compose deployment
- Embedded historian & broker, standard connectors included
- 10M pipeline executions/day with burst up to 1M/hour
Ideal for industrial PoCs, asset pilots, and departmental automation.
Enterprise Edition
Designed for production rollouts across multiple sites with Kubernetes, external services, and granular governance.
- HA/DR-ready Kubernetes deployment with rolling upgrades
- Bring your own MongoDB, Timescale, EMQX, NATS, and Vault
- 50M executions/day (5M/hour) with stackable quota add-ons
Best for regulated industries, multi-tenant platforms, and 24/7 operations.

Enterprise Add-Ons
Enterprise customers can layer optional packages on top of the base entitlement. Add-ons are contract-based and designed to match throughput, security, or compliance objectives.
- Advanced Data-Level RBAC: Apply attribute-based policies down to namespace topics, connector fields, and pipeline visibility so users only see the assets they are permitted to operate.
- Additional Execution Quota: Purchase 2M/hour increments to reach 7M, 9M, or even 15M executions/hour. Each increment increases daily quota proportionally.
