Editions
RelayQ editions — choose the right fit for your deployment.
Editions
RelayQ is available in four editions. All editions share the same zero-dependency core, the same security posture, and the same formal verification. The difference is what platform capabilities are compiled in.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What's included in the pilot?
- Full-featured broker binary for your target platform, pilot license, getting started guide, and direct support via email. No feature restrictions during the pilot period.
- How does OEM licensing work?
- OEM licenses grant redistribution rights — you can embed RelayQ in your gateway products and ship it to your customers. Includes source access for custom builds and integration support. Contact us to discuss your volume and requirements.
- Can I get source access?
- Source access is available under the OEM edition. It includes a separate Source Access Agreement with confidentiality obligations.
- What happens when my license expires?
- Your deployed broker continues to run indefinitely — core MQTT operation never stops. What expires is your support and update entitlement. After expiry you cannot receive new releases or access support until you renew. A device in a remote location or safety-critical system should never stop working because of a renewal delay.
- Which edition should I choose?
- Start with the 90-day pilot — it gives you the full feature set to evaluate. We'll help you identify the right edition based on your deployment requirements before you commit.
