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.

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

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. The framework does not need a network: the application works in a fully isolated environment.
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?
Updates ship regularly. The application updates itself, with signature checks and rollback, and module compatibility is checked automatically.
What is DockStudio written in?
C++ and Qt 6. Modules are written in C++, the UI in Qt Widgets or QML. The platform runs on Windows 10 and 11.
Is there training for our developers?
Yes: a three-day SDK intensive, project templates and code review of your team's first modules.
