Common questions about miOptimizer, honestly answered.
Getting Started
Is the Community Edition really free forever?
Yes, genuinely free forever. Not a trial. Not a teaser. Community Edition includes:
- Professional optimization engine (same as paid versions)
- Up to 50 parts per job (covers 90% of small shop needs)
- CSV import & PDF export
- Lifetime free updates
- No credit card required, no expiration date
We built Community Edition for hobbyists, students, and small shops who deserve professional tools without the enterprise pricing, quotes/invoicing, or multi-user access. Most small shops stay on Community Edition for months before needing more.
