How to get Borz.

Three distribution tiers. The free Online API is for trying it out. The Community offline binary is for individual developers and small teams who want the compiler on their own machine. Enterprise offline is for production, regulated, and air-gapped deployments.

How to get Borz

Three flavours. Pick the one that fits.

Online for trying it out. Community for developers + small teams. Enterprise for sealed data centres. Upgrade later if you outgrow your tier.

Online API

For trying it out

Sign up with an email. Get an API key in 5 seconds. POST your .borz source, download the compiled binary.

  • ✓ No install
  • ✓ 100 compiles/day free
  • ✓ Early access — pay-as-you-go pricing on request after that
  • ⚠ Every compile is visible to us

Community Offline

For developers + small teams

Run the compiler on your own laptop or build server. Same compiler, no network round-trip, no per-compile fee.

  • ✓ Free, 1 machine per account, 1-year cert
  • ✓ Hardware-locked to your machine
  • ⚠ Requires KYC: name, org, country, use case
  • ⚠ Telemetry on: compile counts + source corpus

Enterprise Offline

For production, regulated, air-gapped

Bring Borz inside your data centre, on your sealed images, on your customer hardware. Source code never leaves your perimeter.

  • ✓ Telemetry contractually disablable
  • ✓ Air-gapped delivery option
  • ✓ Custom seat counts + TPM allowlist
  • ✓ NDA + DPA + signed order form

Why three tiers? Read the rationale. KYC is real: we're a small EU startup and we want to know who's using our compiler for what.

Frequently asked

Why do you ask for KYC on the Community tier?
We're a small EU company shipping a compiler people will use to build production software. Knowing who is using it for what is what lets us stay a small EU company. The form is short; review is one business day.
Can I move between tiers?
Yes. Start on the Online API. Upgrade to Community when you outgrow the rate limit or need offline builds. Move to Enterprise when you need contractual terms, air-gapped delivery, or telemetry off.
What exactly does Community-tier telemetry collect?
Compile counts (timestamp + target), the source corpus (your .borz files at compile time), and your activation fingerprint. The cert carries a telemetry_corpus_enabled flag — Community is always-on by definition; Enterprise is contractually configurable.
Is the compiler open source?
The Borz compiler binary is shipped under a commercial licence. The language specification, the stdlib, the docs, and the playground examples are public. Your .borz source is yours; the compiled binary is yours.
