FAQ
Common
questions.
Is lynox really free?
Yes. The engine is source-available under the ELv2 license. You can self-host it at no cost. The managed tiers (Starter, Managed, Managed Pro) are paid services for hosting, updates, backups, and support.
What's the difference between Starter and Managed?
Starter hosts the infrastructure for you — you bring your own LLM API key (e.g. Anthropic). Managed and Managed Pro include AI credits, so you don't need an API key. You choose your region (US or EU) at checkout.
Can I switch between plans?
Yes. You can upgrade or downgrade at any time. Switching from Self-Hosted to a managed plan is a one-click migration — your data transfers encrypted, end-to-end.
What does "fair use" mean on Managed tiers?
Managed tiers include AI credits for normal business operations — conversations, research, workflows. It's not designed for bulk processing or automated pipelines running thousands of requests. See our Fair Use Policy for details.
Where is my data stored?
Self-Hosted: wherever you run it. Managed tiers: on dedicated Hetzner servers. You choose your AI region (US or EU) at checkout. Your instance is not shared — it's a single-tenant VPS with encrypted storage.
Do I need technical knowledge to self-host?
Basic Docker knowledge is enough. Run docker compose up and you're live. No Kubernetes, no complex config. The docs walk you through it in under 5 minutes.
Can I export my data if I leave?
Yes. Your data is yours. Full export is built into the engine — conversations, knowledge graph, contacts, workflows. No lock-in, no export fees.
Is there a team plan?
Not yet. The current plans are single-user. A team tier with shared Knowledge Graph is on the roadmap.
