Server side

DockStudio Server — a separate license

The platform's server side: synchronization, shared data, delivery of the web and mobile clients, unified authentication and background tasks. You need it if the app requires a browser or mobile client, or sync between workstations.

On your own infrastructure

Installed on your servers. Data and users stay inside the perimeter, and you control the updates.

from 120,000 ₽ one-time

Hosted by us

We deploy and maintain it: updates, backups, monitoring. No infrastructure of your own required.

from 14,900 ₽ / mo

What the server provides

  • Web client of the application
  • Mobile client (iOS / Android)
  • Synchronization between seats
  • Unified authentication and SSO
  • Background tasks and queues
  • API for external systems

Not needed for a desktop app

If the app runs standalone on workstations, the server side isn’t required — and you don’t pay for it.

Can be added later

The server connects to an app that is already running: modules and data stay the same, and web and mobile access are added.

Purchasing models

How you can buy the platform

Annual subscription

A license for a development team with updates and support. Renewed annually, scales with the number of developers.

Perpetual license

A one-time purchase of a specific version with the right to use it indefinitely. Updates are covered by a separate agreement.

Source code (OEM)

Core source code and the right to embed DockStudio in your own commercial product under your brand.

Server license

DockStudio Server is needed if your application requires web and mobile clients or sync between workstations. Installed on your own infrastructure or hosted by us.

Turnkey development

We build the entire application on DockStudio: discovery, development, implementation, support. Payment by milestone.

Questions

Licensing FAQ

Is it a framework or a ready-made application?

A platform framework. You get a working application shell and an SDK; the domain logic is written by you or by us under a development contract.

Can we get the source code?

Yes. The Enterprise license includes the core source code and the right to modify it within your organization.

Does the application need internet access?

No. DockStudio is designed for fully air-gapped environments, including offline data work and a deferred-operation queue.

How is it different from an off-the-shelf IDE or BI system?

An off-the-shelf product solves one task the way its author intended. DockStudio is a foundation on which you assemble a workspace for your own tasks: a code editor next to telemetry charts and an equipment control panel.

How are updates released?

Major versions ship once a year, with module contract compatibility guaranteed two versions back. Fixes ship as they are ready.

Is there training for our developers?

Yes: a three-day SDK intensive, project templates and code review of your team's first modules.
