What you are not billed for
Nine items, conventional stack against Raylux.
| Item | Conventional stack | Raylux |
|---|---|---|
| Device drivers | Licensed per protocol, per gateway | All eight included, no per-driver charge |
| OPC UA | A separate server to buy, install and keep running | Client and server, built into Nexus |
| Historian storage | A database server to license, size and administer | None to buy. Writes locally, or to MariaDB or PostgreSQL |
| Tags | Metered in bands; the tag count decides the price | Unlimited, on every licence |
| Engineering seats | Priced per engineer | Unlimited, at no charge |
| Licence model | Subscription; the renewal is the leverage | Perpetual. You keep the version you installed |
| Activation | Phone-home checks against a licence server | A signed file, so an isolated gateway stays activated |
| Edge hardware | A cut-down variant with its own feature list | The same gateway, with less hardware under it |
| Operator clients | Counted per seat, indefinitely | Counted to nine, then capacity tiers, or unlimited |
Every price behind this table is published in full, with the modules broken out, on the pricing page, which includes a configurator that quotes your actual plant.
