# Midaz models

> Compare Midaz Community and Enterprise models — choose the licensing tier that fits your needs and pair it with SaaS or BYOC deployment.

Midaz offers two models tailored to different needs: **Community** and **Enterprise**. Whether you're an individual developer, a growing startup, or an enterprise looking for scalability and dedicated support, there's an option that fits your requirements.

## Deployment flexibility

***

Both Community and Enterprise are available under Lerian's [BYOC (Bring Your Own Cloud)](/en/deployment-models) model — you deploy and operate the platform in your own infrastructure. Enterprise customers can also choose the **SaaS** model, where Lerian manages the entire infrastructure.

Your licensing model (Community or Enterprise) defines **what features you get**. Your deployment model (SaaS or BYOC) defines **how the platform runs**. These are independent choices.

For a full comparison, see [Deployment models](/en/deployment-models).

## Community model

***

The **Community** model is perfect for those looking for a cost-effective way to leverage Midaz’s core capabilities. This model gives you **full access to Midaz’s essential features** at no cost, backed by **community-driven support**.

### Key benefits

* Free access to [Midaz's Core Features](/en/midaz/core-features).
* Community-driven support via Discord and GitHub.
* Helm Charts availability for simplified deployments.

This model is best suited for **developers, startups, and teams experimenting with Midaz** without the need for enterprise-grade support or SLAs.

## Enterprise model

***

The **Enterprise** model is designed for organizations that require **scalability, compliance, and dedicated support**. It includes **everything in the Community model**, plus:

### Key benefits

* **Lifecycle management**, keeping your infrastructure optimized.
* **Software support** for mission-critical operations.
* **Advanced access management** and **role-based control**.
* **Onboarding assistance** for seamless adoption.
* **Software availability SLA**, ensuring uptime and reliability.
* **Incident reporting & security compliance**.
* **Seamless plugin integration**, powered by a ready and optimized environment.

The **Enterprise model is ideal for businesses that need a robust, production-ready setup** with expert guidance and high availability.

<Note>
  Plugins are available exclusively for enterprise clients.
