DXP subscription is cheaper than other products on the market.

The license/subscription is associated to the number of Liferay instances, CPU cores, and level of support (Gold, Platinum).

I recommend that you talk with your Liferay Account Manager and establish a plan according your needs.

It’s open source, unless you want to go for the enterprise version; except for support, you have everything in the non-enterprise version of the product.

Liferay has both the Community and Enterprise Editions. The Community Edition is free and we have used it too. The Enterprise Edition comes with a few extra features. This should be actually driven by the requirements.

The product is neither cheap nor expensive. What Liferay Digital Experience Platform offers at its current price can be considered something that is worth the money.

There are different licenses for production, development, and backup. Pricing has gone up after version 6.2. The development license might be too costly for small to medium-sized businesses.

Liferay releases its portal as Community and Enterprise Edition. Like any other open source software, Liferay has a pricing model with levels of support for the Enterprise Edition. There are two levels of support with minor differences: Gold and Platinum.

Their pricing model should be modified to include per user options instead of just servers/cores, etc.

We recommend never leveraging static components when developing licensing requirements because the operating system layer and its environment will always change to fit support costs.

It's an open-source structure.

The licensing cost was a one-off. Other costs are for professional services to integrate Liferay to other existing systems. Those are the main costs and also costs related to deployment, setting up the load balancing, and later on having to configure the disaster recovery site. These are all related costs to the deployment of Liferay in different scenarios.

Always use the Enterprise Edition, as it isn't worth your own time to try and hunt down bugs in the Community Edition, and there are lots of bugs/regressions.

Licensing follows the dual licensing model and the Community edition is completely open source (with LGPL). The Enterprise edition follows EULA licensing. Please read carefully to understand the intellectual property-specific constraints.

Head Developer at a tech services company with 11-50 employees

There are options around its licenses that are worth some evaluation, especially if you don’t have experts available to provide you with the due support.

Liferay can be quite complicated under all those great features and some projects require extensive customization that demands some degree of expertise.

However, if the project is simple and only composed by assembling and organizing apps, it might not be worth paying for a license, except in those cases when access to restricted apps is needed.

Compared to other big players in portal platforms, Liferay's pricing is very competitive. And remember, the latest version of Liferay is not just a portal framework, but it is a digital experience platform which offers way more.
