Getting a license key for Starter or Scale
EventCatalog offers two commercial plans you can self-serve from EventCatalog Cloud:
- Starter — for small teams getting started with commercial features.
- Scale — for larger teams that need the full set of advanced capabilities.
See the pricing page for a full breakdown of what each plan includes.
Starting a plan
-
Sign in to EventCatalog Cloud. If you don't have an account yet, sign up — it's free.
-
Go to your dashboard.
-
Choose Starter or Scale and start your plan. Every plan comes with a 14 day free trial, so you can try it before you commit.

-
Once the plan is active, head to your API keys page to find your license key.

Adding your license key to your catalog
Copy the license key from your dashboard into your .env file:
EVENTCATALOG_STARTER_LICENSE_KEY=your-license-key-here
# or for Scale
EVENTCATALOG_SCALE_LICENSE_KEY=your-license-key-here
Then start EventCatalog as normal. The commercial features for your plan will be unlocked automatically.
