- Datastar remains MIT-licensed and free, with some convenience plugins moved to Datastar Pro.
- The free version can achieve the same outcomes using standard APIs.
- Datastar was rewritten multiple times for a solid foundation, with no plans for v2.
- Pro is for those who want convenience, support the project, or avoid maintaining plugins.
- Pro is a one-time lifetime license from a nonprofit, with no buyout or rug pull.
- One bundle pricing for Pro simplifies purchasing and avoids FOMO.
- The core stays free, small, and fast; Pro adds convenience and tooling.
- The project aims to fund work and set clear support boundaries.
