faq

Does the CLI require online activation?

No. The recommended licensing model keeps Frontmattering local-first. The Lemon Squeezy key proves purchase; normal validation should remain offline.

Can I evaluate in CI?

Yes, during the 30-day evaluation to decide whether to purchase. Continued CI use requires a commercial license.

Can a consultant use Solo for client work?

Solo covers the consultant’s own professional use. If Frontmattering remains in the client repository or CI after delivery, the client needs an organization license.

Are prices final forever?

No. These are introductory self-service prices for new purchases. Existing purchased rights remain governed by the terms in force at purchase.

commercial use

Use it personally for free. Buy when work depends on it.

Professional, organizational, CI/CD, client, hosted, managed-service, and revenue-connected use is covered by a 30-day evaluation. Continued use needs a commercial license.
