One core, two ways to use it

Shared capabilities, optimized for different needs.

Cloud and open source share roughly 90% of their product direction. Cloud may receive experience improvements first, and proven improvements will continue flowing back into the open-source edition.

Choose Open Source for control

Keep the code, data and infrastructure under your control. You are responsible for deployment, maintenance, backups and AI provider configuration.

Choose Cloud for convenience

The free plan keeps the complete core experience. Paid plans add resources and advanced features, and Cloud revenue supports continued development of both editions.

Not sure which edition fits?

Try Blinko Cloud without deploying anything. If you prefer to operate your own stack, the open-source edition remains available on GitHub.
