Tier0 is one platform in three editions. Same namespace model, same flows, same CLI — the difference is who runs it and how much platform you get.
Open source
Edge
The UNS foundation, on one machine. Yours entirely.
For technical evaluation, PoCs, and teams comfortable operating open-source software on their own.
UNS core, SourceFlows/EventFlows, history storage — single-machine Docker deployment.
Managed SaaS
Cloud Most teams start here
The full platform, operated for you.
Apps, notebooks, and launchpad on day one — no infrastructure to run.
Up to 5 edges. For a single factory with a few apps, wanting a quick start.
Up to 10 edges. For users with multiple factories and many apps.
Private deployment
Enterprise
The full platform, on your terms.
For data sovereignty, scale, governance, and enterprise-grade oversight.
Data Foundation. A small number of single-purpose apps — e.g. energy monitoring, equipment management.
Single Instance. Single-factory data integration, apps across multiple use cases.
Multi-Instance. Multiple factories, many apps, centralized private-cloud management.
Add-ons: extra edge nodes $2,000 /edge/year · additional instances $10,000 /instance/year. Prices are for orientation — the source of truth is tier0.app/pricing.

What’s an “edge” (the unit)?
Section titled “What’s an “edge” (the unit)?”In Cloud plans, an edge is a connection point that collects data close to your equipment — typically a gateway or industrial PC running collection flows — and publishes into the namespace. Count roughly one per site or isolated network segment. Not to be confused with the Edge edition (the open-source distribution above).
