- BoxLang FAQs - Is BoxLang a paid engine like Adobe ColdFusion?
- BoxLang is FREE and OPEN SOURCE
- There are plans for additional features, but you do not need to pay to use BoxLang.
- And before you say it’s paid because of the modules:
- Anyone can build a BoxLang module using the same tooling and extension points we use. You can create your own version of our premium modules and use that.
- BoxLang+ and BoxLang++ are optional plans for people who see the value of:
- Premium modules
- Redis
- Couchbase
- MongoDB
- ElasticSearch
- bx-ai+ (more providers and features)
- PDF Forms
- Spreadsheet Functionality
- Business-level SLA
- Custom patches
- Priority support
- And more!
