| Feature | Network Version | Cloud Version |
|---|---|---|
| Server Location | Your own local server computer. | Our secure cloud servers. |
| Maintenance | You are responsible for server setup, updates, backups, and security. | We handle all server maintenance, updates, and backups. |
| Internet Dependency | Can run entirely on your local network; internet is only needed for updates or optional remote access setup. | Requires a stable internet connection for access. |
| Access | Primarily from computers connected to your local network. (Can be configured for remote access with IT expertise). | Access from anywhere via our client application or a web browser on any device. |
| Cost Model | One-time perpetual license fee. Starting from $499 | Monthly or annual subscription fee. Starting from $24.99/month |
