I need a comparison of different Elastic license types. I found the following link, which is very comprehensive. However, it does not include the free version. We have the paid version in some areas, but my team wants to request the increase of the number of paid Elastic licenses. Is there a similar comparison that includes the free license? I am interested in Elastic in general and Elastic Security in particular. Also, this link discusses the cloud version—what about the on-premises version?

You just need to select _Self-managed_ in the Features menu.

This is the [subscription page](https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions) that includes the Free/Basic features for self-managed deployments.
