Why premium?

To gain access

No Premium subscription, no Premium features, simple.

To make those dollars count

Apeiron is a small team of engineers, every dollar contributed to OpenLog goes towards developing or promoting it.

You membership funds engineering directly, it is not rent.

To keep it going

OpenLog Community is free to use but it is certainly not free to make. In order to keep the lights on, reliable funding is required.

Without that we cannot add features, improve existing ones, fix bugs, or provide support.

To get, and keep, what you paid for

OpenLog Premium features eventually make it into the Community as per the delayed Open Source model professes which all may enjoy.

With your membership, you are freeing yourself and others from the proprietary software licence fee ratchet.
