What's the Difference: Cloud vs Enterprise?¶
Both editions use the exact same interface and have the same features. The only differences:
| Feature | Cloud Edition | Enterprise Edition |
|---|---|---|
| Hosting | Hosted by HaasOnline | Self-hosted on your infrastructure |
| Setup | Instant - just login | Requires installation and configuration |
| Maintenance | Managed by HaasOnline | You manage updates and servers |
| Access | Web browser only | Web browser + local access |
| Scaling | Automatic | Manual server scaling |
| Price | Monthly subscription | One-time license + hosting costs |
Choose Cloud if: You want instant access, automatic updates, and don't want to manage infrastructure.
Choose Enterprise if: You need full control, have compliance requirements, or prefer self-hosting.
