Commercial License
ESP-DASH Lite (open-source version) and ESP-DASH Pro are two different versions of the same realtime dashboard library, each with its own set of features and licensing terms. Here’s a comparison between ESP-DASH Lite, which is open-source and GPL-3.0 based, and ESP-DASH Pro:
-
Licensing:
-
ESP-DASH Lite: This version is open-source and released under the GPL-3.0 license. It means that it’s freely available for anyone to use, modify, and distribute. However, if you use ESP-DASH Lite in a commercial product, the GPL-3.0 license requires you to make the source code of your product, including any modifications to ESP-DASH Lite, available to the public.
-
ESP-DASH Pro: This version is offered under a one-time charge for a commercial license. It allows you to use ESP-DASH Pro in a commercial product without the requirement to open-source your proprietary code. The commercial license provides more flexibility and protection for businesses.

Support:

ESP-DASH Lite: Support for ESP-DASH Lite is typically community-driven. You may find help through online forums, documentation, or user-contributed resources. However, professional support may be limited.

In summary, the choice between ESP-DASH Lite and ESP-DASH Pro depends on your specific needs and the nature of your project:
-
If you are working on an open-source project or have no concerns about the GPL-3.0 license’s requirements and need basic dashboard functionality, ESP-DASH Lite is a viable choice.
-
If you are developing a commercial product, ESP-DASH Pro provides a more comprehensive and professionally supported solution while allowing you to maintain the proprietary nature of your code. However, it comes with a one-time commercial licensing fee.
