Self-Hosted Graphory
A community edition you can run in your own infrastructure is on the roadmap for Q2-Q3 2026. This page documents the model, what is in scope, what is not, and how to get notified when it ships.
Short answer
Target release: Q3 2026. Open-core. The data layer (graph store, extractors, Graph API, MCP server) is self-hostable and free. The managed intelligence layer (AI-verified review, correction feedback loop, cross-customer ontology learning, managed OAuth connectors) stays in Graphory cloud.
Enterprise-hosted (we run Graphory inside your cloud account, on dedicated infrastructure) is available earlier on request. Contact info@graphory.io.
The model: open-core + phone-home licensing
The split between self-hostable and managed-only is drawn around a simple line: anything deterministic and single-tenant can run in your infrastructure; anything that depends on AI verification, cross-customer learning, or managed credentials stays in the cloud.
Feature matrix
| Capability | Self-hosted (free) | Managed cloud |
|---|---|---|
| Graph store (per-org isolation) | Yes | Yes |
| Deterministic extractors | Yes | Yes |
| Graph API (search, traverse, entity, timeline, write-back, stats) | Yes | Yes |
| MCP server | Yes | Yes |
| Ingest API and webhook push | Yes | Yes |
| Basic provenance and authority tracking | Yes | Yes |
| Full data export | Yes (all formats) | Yes (all formats) |
| AI-verified review queue | No | Yes |
| Correction feedback loop | No | Yes |
| Cross-customer ontology learning | No | Yes |
| Latent-connection discovery | No | Yes |
| Stale-entity surfacing + weekly digests | No | Yes |
| Managed OAuth connectors (Gmail, QuickBooks, Salesforce, etc.) | No (bring your own OAuth app) | Yes |
| Priority support and SLA | Community support | Yes (plan-dependent) |
| Automatic upgrades and backups | You run them | Yes |
How licensing works
- A self-hosted instance validates its
gs_ak_key against Graphory's billing API once per hour. - If the subscription stops, keys stop working. Your graph data stays yours - exports, source .md files, and the graph store files are all yours to keep.
- Usage (node count, API request volume) reports back anonymously so we can bill the right tier. No content, no entity names, no query text leaves your infrastructure.
- Enterprise customers can disable phone-home entirely for fully air-gapped deployments. Licensing switches to an offline license file signed by Graphory.
When self-hosting is the right answer
- Data residency. EU-only, Canada-only, or similar jurisdictional constraints that the Graphory cloud region list does not cover.
- Regulated workflows. HIPAA, FedRAMP-adjacent, or customers whose counsel will not accept a shared-tenant SaaS for their data.
- Air-gapped environments. No outbound internet from the graph infrastructure.
- Zero SaaS dependency. Infrastructure teams who refuse to add a new vendor to their critical path.
What self-hosting costs you
- You run the infrastructure: Docker host (or equivalent), the graph store, object storage for source files, reverse proxy with TLS.
- You handle upgrades, backups, and disaster recovery. Upgrade tooling is included; the ops work is yours.
- You lose the managed intelligence layer unless you pay for it separately. Deterministic extraction still works; the AI-verified boost does not.
- You bring your own OAuth apps for any connector you want. Graphory's managed OAuth apps are only available in Graphory cloud.
Enterprise-hosted option (available now)
Before the community edition ships, Enterprise customers can have Graphory deployed into a dedicated environment in their cloud account. We run it, you own the infrastructure boundary. Includes the full managed intelligence layer, per-customer isolation at the VPC level, and contractual SLA.
Pricing is custom, based on graph size and support scope. Contact info@graphory.io to start a conversation.

Get notified when it ships
Email info@graphory.io with the subject line "Notify me about self-hosted Graphory" and tell us:
- Your use case (data residency, air-gap, regulated workflow, or other).
- Approximate data volume (total rows or documents you expect to ingest).
- Timeline pressure - is this a hard requirement or a preference?
High-signal replies move you to the front of the alpha waitlist.
