# Fincept Terminal

## About
**Fincept Terminal** is a native C++20 desktop terminal for financial research — Qt6 UI, embedded Python 3.11 analytics, one binary, no Electron.
Two editions run on one data core. **[Enterprise](https://fincept.in/enterprise)** is the private, closed-source build the team develops daily, for funds, family offices and research desks. **This repo** is the free AGPL-3.0 edition — learning, personal use, academic research — shipping one release a month.
Use the open build if you're a student, hobbyist or academic. Use Enterprise if you're a firm, or if the terminal is how you earn: AGPL copyleft won't apply, and the open build's real cost is your own data and LLM bills, charged per token with no ceiling.
| | Open Source | **Enterprise** |
|---|---|---|
| **Licence** | AGPL-3.0 — strong copyleft | Proprietary — no copyleft to manage |
| **Cost** | Free, plus your own data and LLM bills | $99 / $199 / $299 per user/month |
| **Data** | Free public feeds, your own API keys | Private datasets, deeper history, point-in-time |
| **AI** | Bring your own LLM key | 400–5,000 credits included · multi-agent research · private dataroom |
| **Trading** | Paper trading + broker integrations | Live broker routing + live algo deployment |
| **Controls** | — | SSO/SAML, audit logs, RBAC, SLA-backed support |

## License
**AGPL-3.0-or-later** — full text in [LICENSE](LICENSE).
Free for personal use, learning and academic research. AGPL-3.0 is **strong copyleft, not permissive**: distribute a modified build, or run one as a service other people reach, and you must publish your changes under the same licence. For most legal teams that is the row that ends the discussion — which is why firms take **[Enterprise](https://fincept.in/enterprise)**, which is proprietary and carries no copyleft obligations to manage. Personal, non-distributed use carries no obligations.
Fincept no longer sells a separate commercial or academic licence for this repository. Commercial, enterprise and university needs are served by **[Fincept Terminal Enterprise](https://fincept.in/enterprise)** at the published prices above.
