Product architecture

A plan can grant several products, licenses, seats, or device pools. Studio can be bundled with AthenaDB or licensed separately.

AthenaDB Lite

Embedded and serverless. Community targets SQLite 3 compatibility and remains account- and activation-free.

AthenaDB

The self-hosted server, from a no-license Community floor through organization-wide Enterprise grants.

AthenaDB Studio

Free local Community tools, with paid productivity seats available standalone or inside a database plan.

Your data is never held hostage. Every edition always includes export of your own data, and licensing only gates premium capabilities — never access to what you've stored. See how licensing works.

Paid assignments shown here are proposed product packaging, not GA evidence. Current availability remains governed by the capability release gates. Buying through a VAR/MSP, or exploring cloud / OEM integration? See the Partner Program (Early Access — wholesale rate cards after Authorized approval; technology intake via partners@).
