Compression for desktop apps + indie tools.
Same compression engine as Server-side, single-threaded throughput. Embed in desktop apps, indie tools, single-user workflows. $200/year, the only commercial single-developer license under $1,000/year in this category.
The "indie dev" tier
Most commercial competitors don't sell a single-user license below $1,000/year. We do, $200/year, full compression capability, single-threaded throughput. Perfect for desktop apps, single-user pro tools, indie SaaS embeds, and edge-of-network compression workflows.
- ✓ Desktop apps (Win, Mac, Linux)

- ✓ Edge-of-network compression embeds
- ✓ Same engine, single-threaded

Ready to scale up?
If you outgrow single-threaded throughput, production server deployment, batch pipelines, multi-tenant workloads, the Server-side tier ($1,200/yr/server) uses the same engine multi-threaded. Existing client-side licenses can be credited toward server-side upgrade.
