Four offers. One deployment path.

If you want a lighter starting point, the Creative Suite package is available for teams that prefer a narrower entry offer. Optional support is clearly separate from the core software license.

Economics
SaaS rent vs. licensed ownership.
| Metric | SaaS Rent Model | Aethonex One-Time Ownership |
|---|---|---|
| Year 1 cost (Performance OS equivalent) | £13,524–£21,600 recurring | £2,997 one-time + £456 infra (Hetzner) |

Why One-Time Pricing
Coherence with the value proposition.
Aethonex exists to end rent-seeking vendor relationships. A subscription would recreate the dependency model it claims to replace. One-time pricing removes the monthly commitment objection and shifts the question from "can we afford this ongoing?" to "does this displace recurring rent?" — a structural cost decision, not a promotional offer.
Infrastructure you control
Deployed on dedicated or private cloud infrastructure you own directly. Servers and keys stay under your authority.
Documented independence
Administration guide, troubleshooting runbook, expansion playbook, and architecture reference — written for non-technical operations leads.
Compounding value
Every document uploaded, workflow built, and proposal generated deepens your sovereign knowledge layer. Value compounds over time.
The Comparison
Renting SaaS vs. owning sovereign infrastructure.
SaaS Rent Model
Costs compound with adoption.
Seat licenses, contact limits, and API usage fees mean margins shrink as you scale. You pay recurring vendor rent with no residual asset.
Sovereign Model
Value compounds with adoption.
More usage compounds value on infrastructure you control. Aethonex does not add seat licenses or platform usage metering.
Financial Result
Permanence over perpetual SaaS rent.
You build a digital asset on your balance sheet. Lower third-party data exposure, reduced vendor price exposure, and no mandatory renewal cycle.
Pricing FAQ
One-time ownership. Clear answers.
Is this a subscription?
No. Core products are one-time ownership purchases. You pay once. The deployment remains under your control. Optional Annual Software Maintenance Plan (£997/year) is genuinely optional.
What does one-time ownership include?
Complete downloadable software package, deployment documentation, and permanent license. You deploy on your server and operate independently. There are no mandatory Aethonex renewal invoices, seat licenses, or per-query platform charges.
Do I need Annual Support?
No. Every core product includes self-serve administration guides. Support is for teams who prefer Aethonex to handle quarterly updates and health checks.
