Each purchase path buys the same kind of perpetual license for the Safire software version you purchase. The difference is when you enter the pre-alpha, beta and commercial Version 1 release path.
Safire is being positioned as a complete business application development environment, not a runtime subscription. The license covers the purchased software version, including the development environment and its core product capabilities.
$499
Access to all alpha builds, all beta builds, and the first Commercial Version 1 build.
$699
Access to all beta builds and the first Commercial Version 1 build.
$999
Purchase the first commercial Version 1 build as a perpetual license for that software version.
Alpha Access, Beta Access and Version 1 Access help fund the initial development process and help ensure that Safire Version 1 reaches market as soon as possible. Each purchase window still buys the same Safire product line: a perpetual license for the software version purchased.
A perpetual license means you may keep using the Safire software version you purchased under the published license terms. It is not presented as a forced subscription to keep that purchased version running.
Alpha and beta access are earlier purchase windows into the same Version 1 product path, not different crippled editions. They are also part of the funding path that supports initial product development and accelerates the journey toward the first commercial Version 1 release.
Release dates are current planning targets: Alpha around 20-25 July 2026, Beta around 18 September 2026, and Version 1 around 30 November 2026.
