So What’s Actually Different?

Just Two Things. Neither One Is a Capability Gap.

🛠️ 1. Support

Community Edition is backed by our public forum and, if needed, individually purchasable enterprise support tickets.

Enterprise Edition includes dedicated enterprise support with guaranteed response times.

🎨 2. Branding

Community Edition retains the Helical Insight branding on charts and exports.

Enterprise Edition removes all mandatory branding, making it ideal for fully white-labeled deployments.
