AFFiNE is the open-source, local-first knowledge workspace that combines documents, whiteboards, and AI in one canvas. AFFiNE Cloud is hosted by our team; the editor and most of the codebase are MIT-licensed, while the self-hosted backend is source-available under the AFFiNE Enterprise Edition license. (Not to be confused with affine geometry in mathematics.)
Yes. AFFiNE Cloud Free includes unlimited local workspaces, 10 GB of Cloud Storage, real-time collaboration with up to 3 members per workspace, and 7 days of version history. There is no time limit on the Free plan. For self-hosting, the editor and most of the codebase are MIT-licensed, while the backend is source-available under the AFFiNE Enterprise Edition license: without a commercial agreement, you may review the backend source code only. Modifying, compiling, or redistributing the EE-licensed backend code requires commercial authorization from AFFiNE.
AFFiNE Cloud runs on our infrastructure with no setup. Storage, seats, and version-history limits depend on your plan (Free, Pro, or Team). Self-Hosted runs the full stack on your own servers; the editor is MIT, the backend uses the AFFiNE Enterprise Edition license. You control all data, and limits are bound by your own infrastructure. The Self-Hosted Team tier ($10/seat/month) adds priority support, multi-admin roles, and scaling for 10+ seats.
Yes. AFFiNE's editor and most of the codebase are open-source under MIT, local-first by design, and free forever for personal use. As an open-source Notion alternative, your workspace data lives on your device with optional cloud sync. The EE-licensed backend source is available for review only without a commercial agreement; modifying, compiling, or redistributing it requires commercial authorization from AFFiNE.
Local side: unlimited local workspaces, unlimited customization, unlimited Doc and Edgeless editing. Cloud Basic side: 10 GB of Cloud Storage, 10 MB maximum file size, up to 3 members per Workspace, 7 days of Cloud Time Machine version history, and up to 3 login devices.
The Believer Plan is a one-time purchase of $499.99 that gives you lifetime personal usage of AFFiNE Pro, including everything in Pro plus 1 TB of Cloud Storage. It is a single payment with no subscription, designed for early supporters who want to back the project long-term.
AFFiNE uses a dual-license model: the editor (BlockSuite), desktop app, and most of the codebase are MIT-licensed, while the backend server (packages/backend) uses the AFFiNE Enterprise Edition (EE) license. Without a commercial agreement, you may review the backend source code only. Modifying, compiling, or redistributing the EE-licensed backend code requires commercial authorization from AFFiNE.

Yes. For teams moving off Confluence's cloud per-seat cost, AFFiNE's Self-Hosted Team tier ($10/seat/month, 10+ seats) is built as a team knowledge base that runs the full stack on your own infrastructure with priority support, multi-admin roles, unlimited team members, and full data residency. Unlike Confluence's wiki-only model, AFFiNE combines docs, whiteboards, and AI in one canvas. It works as a flexible corporate wiki with local-first data ownership and an open-source editor under MIT.
