Free open core
Install LiEditor on your own servers at no license cost. Core editing, basic sharing, BYOK AI within free token limits.
Self host
Self hosting is not the opposite of paying. It is where the software runs. You can run free, buy a license, or use both cloud and self host for different teams.
You run Postgres, object storage, and Redis. Optional workers handle Pandoc and LibreOffice. The application is the same one we operate on LiEditor Cloud. Start with the self-host setup guide, then buy a license when you need SSO, audit, or enterprise AI policy.

Unlock Team/Business features offline: collaboration, AI governance, audit, SSO. Billed as an annual license key, not a monthly cloud subscription.
License includes security patches and semver updates. Enterprise adds SLA, onboarding, and custom AI provider wiring.
Documents stay on your Postgres/MinIO stack. We never see your files unless you opt into cloud sync or support access.
