What we build on,
and what the licence actually says
Most studios will not tell you this, because the answer is usually "we glued together someone else's tool and marked it up". Here is the whole stack, the licence on each piece, and the boundary we hold so your business never inherits a licensing problem from us.
Every platform, every licence
If a tool is not on this list, we are not running it for you.
| Communications platform | Commercial SMS, voice, verification, video, email Account stays in your name; usage billed at cost with no markup. |
|---|---|
| n8n | Sustainable Use License (fair-code) Workflow engine We build and support workflows on your own instance, which the licence expressly permits. We do not resell seats of an n8n-based product. |
| LiveKit Agents | Apache-2.0 Voice AI framework Permissive. Runs on infrastructure you control, portable across telephony providers. |
| Pipecat | Open source Voice AI framework Used where its integration library fits the call shape better. |
| Chatwoot | MIT Shared inbox and live chat The most permissive of the self-hosted stack. No copyleft obligations. |
| Cal.com | AGPL-3.0 Booking Fine to run commercially. We configure rather than fork, so no source-disclosure obligation arises. |
| Documenso | AGPL-3.0 (commercial edition available) E-signature Same approach; commercial edition if you ever need closed modifications. |
| Formbricks | AGPLv3 (commercial edition available) Forms and surveys Same approach as above. |
| Twenty | AGPL-3.0 CRM Self-hosted on your own database, replacing per-seat CRM costs. |
| Payment provider samples | Vendor sample licence Checkout, subscriptions, marketplaces, terminals Adapted, then hardened for idempotency and reconciliation. |
The boundaries we hold
These are the rules that keep a licence problem from ever becoming yours.
Copyleft, in plain terms
AGPL software is free to run commercially, including for clients. The obligation only bites if you modify it and then serve the modified version over a network, at which point the changed source must be published. Our policy: configure and integrate, do not fork. If a client needs closed modifications, we buy the vendor's commercial edition rather than quietly breach a licence.
Fair-code, in plain terms
Fair-code licences such as n8n's permit consulting and support work explicitly, but prohibit selling a product whose value substantially depends on the software without an agreement. Our policy: your workflow engine runs on your account, we charge for our labour, and we never package it into a platform we sell seats of.
Your accounts, always
Every commercial platform account is in your name. You own the numbers, the data, the history and the billing relationship. If you stop working with us, nothing switches off and nothing needs migrating.
No vendor kickbacks
We take no commission or referral fee from any platform on this page. Usage is billed to you at cost and itemised. That is why we will happily tell you when the cheaper option is the one we make less money on.
