Hi everyone,

I’m evaluating message broker options for our growing enterprise application and am particularly interested in RabbitMQ. While I understand it’s open-source under the Mozilla Public License, I’ve come across references to additional support plans and enterprise offerings.

Can someone clarify what the typical RabbitMQ licensing cost looks like for commercial use? Are there significant differences between the free community version and the paid enterprise options in terms of features, support, or scalability? Any insights, real-world examples, or links to pricing details would be really helpful.

Thanks in advance!
