  Naftiko publishes four named editions on a public editions page, with a full
  feature-by-edition comparison table — but no monetary price, no quota and no overage on
  any of them. Community is stated "free forever"; Developer and Team are both marked
  "Coming soon · Status · In development"; Enterprise is "Trial available · Status ·
  Design partners · H2 2026". The two engines (Ikanos and Polychro) stay Apache 2.0 in
  all four editions, so the free tier is the software itself rather than a metered
  allowance. Prices below are recorded as null because Naftiko does not publish them —
  that is the finding, not a gap in the harvest.

  - >-
    The "Continuous compliance (NIST, SOC2, PCI, GDPR)" row describes what Warden/Skipper
    let a customer enforce on their own capabilities. It is not a claim that Naftiko holds
    those certifications, and no Compliance pointer was emitted on the strength of it.
  - 'Naftiko states the capability YAML, rulesets and policies carry forward across every edition unchanged — no rewrite when moving tier.'
