Compare TypeDB editions
TypeDB comes in three editions. They are built on the same core database engine and use the same drivers - so anything you build on one will be compatible with the others.
Most people trying TypeDB for the first time start with Community Edition or the Cloud free tier. Cloud is ideal if you don't want to host your own database server. Its free tier is sufficient for simple workloads and can be easily scaled up later using a paid plan. Choose TypeDB Enterprise for production workloads with scaling requirements or data residency requirements as well as enterprise-grade support.
