Pricing

This page is the shop for StateLens, the browser tool that reads a store through your own domain assemblies. The licence is the contract: the full terms, and the fees as published here form part of the agreement for the edition you accept.

What you pay nothing for

StateLens, over a single service. A service is one entry in the services list of a statelens.json manifest installed in the tool: a named set of domain assemblies read over one connection string, browsed at its own address. One of those is free, permanently, with no limit on how many people sign in, how many instances you run or how many environments you run them in. You pay when one instance reads a second store.

Paid editions

Every edition grants the same rights to the software: run StateLens against your stores, read its source, and modify it for your own use. The editions differ in how many services one instance may read, in whether affiliates are covered, and in how soon support answers. Support for every edition is asked for through the support form, which is open to registered accounts.

Prices are in USD and exclude VAT or sales tax, which is added at checkout according to where you are. Paid monthly, a term costs a tenth of the yearly price, so a year paid monthly costs a fifth more than a year paid up front.

Launch offer: half price, for as long as you keep the subscription. The prices above are the offer prices: any paid edition bought on or before 31 December 2026 is half price for its first term, and renews at that same half price for every consecutive term the subscription runs unbroken. Let it lapse and take it up again later, and it is charged in full.

Enterprise is sold through a conversation rather than a checkout, because buyers at that size usually want a purchase order, a wire transfer and a signed copy of the agreement. Ask and you get all three.

What happens after you buy

Buying starts with an account, which the purchase is recorded against. Checkout is handled by Paddle, the merchant of record for the sale: Paddle takes the payment, applies the right VAT or sales tax for your location, accepts a company VAT or tax ID, and issues the tax invoice your finance team needs.

You then receive, by email, a licence certificate naming the licensee, the edition, the service count it covers and the term dates, and the purchase is listed on your account.

There is no licence key, no activation and nothing to unlock. StateLens is the same build whichever edition you run it under. Buying one changes what you are permitted to do, not what you install, so nothing in your deployment needs to know about it beyond the Edition setting. Your Settings page lists the services each installed archive declares, which is how you check where you stand.
