Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best way to try AYON for free?
If you just want to look around and get the feel for AYON, you can use AYON playground server. We also provide a 14 day trial for all our subscription once you’d like to dig deeper and try AYON with your own data.
As an alternative, consider our self-hosted community version. This version is unlimited, allowing you to test for an extended period, or even use it in a production setting.
What is an "Active user"?
“Active Users” in AYON are those that are able to log in, interact with the UI, publish data or have api access. You can activate and deactivate users easily in AYON settings.
You can, however, create as many “Inactive Users” as you like. This allows you to build up a database of freelancers, pre-assign them to projects and plan out their work without needing a license for them.
What's the minimum term subscription you offer?
We offer 12-month and 3-month subscriptions as a base, but you can add any amount of monthly “metered” users on top of your subscription which are billed monthly in arrears.
Can I mix and match different plans?
No, each plan comes with its own server configuration and cannot be mixed at the moment. All users within a workspace must subscribe to the same plan. You can however mix multiple subscriptions with different lengths and billing periods. For instance have a core team on a yearly plan, while adding project teams on quarterly subscriptions when needed and freelancers on metered monthly billing.
What kind of support do you provide?
We take great pride in the support we offer. While the level of support varies based on the plan you choose, we also offer dedicated premium monthly support services on a retainer basis. This ensures you have expert assistance readily available for demanding productions, whether it’s to resolve issues or optimise your pipeline setup. Please contact us to learn more about our available services.
How do I upgrade or downgrade my plan?
You can manage almost everything about your subscription in your organisation section on ynput.cloud portal. If there is anything you can’t achieve in the self service portal, let us know at support@ynput.io and our team will assist you.
Are there any setup or hidden fees?
What payment methods do you accept?
What is your cancellation policy?
How many users are included in each plan?
All our plans have a minimum of 5 active users. The pro plan also imposes an upper limit of 200 active users to make sure your server stays performant. Studio Cloud plan and all the self-hosted option have no upper limits on number of users.
What happens if I exceed my plan's limits?
If you surpass the limits of your chosen plan, we will notify you promptly. You’ll have options to either upgrade to a plan that better suits your needs or adjust your usage to stay within the current plan’s limits. We won’t impose sudden charges without your acknowledgment, and we’re committed to ensuring you have a seamless experience, even as your requirements evolve. Always feel free to reach out to our support team for assistance or clarification.
Do you offer custom plans for larger enterprises or specific needs?
What is the difference between free community and cloud AYON?
By locally deploying AYON community edition you will get exactly the same server and pipeline features as all our subscriptions. There are no limitations on the backend, API or integrations.
Getting one of our subscriptions, however, does provide you with a quick and simple setup, full monitoring and backups and a lot of extra functionality in form of power features and addons.We also include some extra services as a bonus.
You can see the full list of power features and addon in the comparison table above.
Are addons compatible with community version of AYON?
They are! If you’d like to use one of our addons with your community version of AYON, you just need to connect it to ynput.cloud to activate AYON market and get in touch with us at support@ynput.io to get your license. Please keep in mind that most of AYON addons are billed per number of active users in your workspace.
Can I buy an Addon only for a few users in my AYON instance?
Currently, most of the addons have to be purchased for all your active users. That being said, there might be more addons in the future that allow selective licensing or usage based licensing. For example Web Publisher is already billed based on real usage of data traffic flowing through it.
