There is a free basic license and additional commercial license levels [that unlock specific features](https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions). If you have questions around cost or what the limitations around the free basic license are I would recommend you contact Elastic Sales (see link on the page I linked to). This is a community forum, so can not really give any kind of legal advice if that is what you are looking for. ---
