License & Pricing

Tract Stack is Open Source. It is released under the O’Saasy License - a modern standard designed to keep the “Free Web” sustainable.

But we offer more than just code. We offer a business model transformation for Agencies.

The Philosophy: Open for Builders, Closed for Vampires

The original definition of Open Source allowed Cloud Giants to strip-mine value from creators. The O’Saasy license fixes this.

Tract Stack is Open Source software. You can read, modify, deploy, and build upon it freely. The license simply prevents “Digital Sharecropping” - you cannot wrap our hard work and resell it as a generic, competing SaaS platform.

For Agencies: The Landlord Model

Agencies are often stuck renting their time, selling low-margin maintenance to clients trapped in the past.

We give you a way to own the infrastructure.

1. The Wholesale DXP (Managed)

Stop selling “Website Maintenance.” Sell a “Digital Experience Platform.”

We provide the engine (Hosting, Security, Updates) at a flat wholesale rate.
You set the retail price and keep 100% of the margin.
The Result: You become the Landlord. We just maintain the plumbing.

2. Custom Code Collaboration

For complex client needs, you don’t have to go it alone. Our engineering team is available for custom code collaborations behind the scenes. We ensure the logic holds up so you can focus on the strategy.

What You Can Do (The Builder’s Rights)

If you prefer to self-host, the O’Saasy license guarantees your freedom:

Build Empires: Create complex, high-value client websites.
Modify the Engine: Tear the code apart and rebuild it.
Own the Infrastructure: Deploy Tract Stack on your own servers or any cloud you choose.
Internal Tools: Build internal business applications without limit.

What You Cannot Do (The “AWS Clause”)

Sell “Tract Stack-as-a-Service”: You cannot wrap the software and sell it as a hosted platform that competes directly with us.
White-Label Hosting: You cannot launch generic “Managed Tract Stack” hosting where the primary value is just the software itself.

The Distinction:

Agency Model (Allowed): “I am building a Smart Tract universe for my client.” (You are selling solution value).
Vulture Model (Prohibited): “Sign up here for a hosted Tract Stack instance for $20/month.” (You are reselling our work).
