Comparison

PermitCore vs Cryptolens

If you're comparing PermitCore against Cryptolens, there's one thing worth knowing first: Cryptolens is now operated under the Devolens company brand — Cryptolens remains the name of the licensing platform itself, but its pricing page now lives at devolens.com.

Sourced September 15, 2026. cryptolens.io/pricing now redirects (HTTP 301) to devolens.com/pricing. Figures below come from that current Devolens pricing page. Pricing on either side can change; verify current numbers directly with the vendor before deciding.

Pricing

Tier PermitCore Devolens (formerly Cryptolens)
Free€0/mo — 50 activations/mo pool€0/mo — 10 active license keys, 15 end users, 1 API call per 10 seconds, evaluation only
Starter€29/mo — 1,000 activations/mo pool— (no tier at this price point)
Professional€59/mo — 10,000 activations/mo poolBusiness — €299/mo, 5,000 active licenses, 1M API calls/mo
Enterprise€299/mo — unlimited pool, self-hosted optionScale €699/mo (10,000 licenses) or Enterprise (custom, unlimited)

Note the units differ: PermitCore's limit is an activation pool (device activations per month, resets monthly), while Devolens' limit is active license keys (a standing count, not a monthly quota). They're not directly interchangeable numbers — check which shape fits how your product is actually licensed.


Licensing models

Devolens' pricing page lists support for subscriptions, usage-based, floating, node-locked, SDK-based, offline, and user-account licensing — a broadly similar model set to PermitCore's own node-locked, floating, offline (ECDSA P-256 signed tokens), and metered licensing. Neither vendor gates these core models behind a separate add-on purchase.


Where PermitCore differs

Built-in storefront
PermitCore includes a Stripe-connected license Store (your own Stripe account, 0% commission) from the Starter plan up. Devolens' pricing page doesn't describe an equivalent built-in storefront.
Zero-knowledge key storage
License keys are encrypted client-side (AES-256-GCM) before ever reaching PermitCore's servers. Devolens' pricing page doesn't describe an equivalent client-side encryption model.
Self-hosting
PermitCore offers a self-hosted deployment on the Enterprise plan. Devolens' pricing page doesn't mention a self-hosting option at any tier.
EU hosting
Both note EU data residency — PermitCore is hosted in Falkenstein, Germany by default; Devolens states EU as its standard region with custom regions available on Enterprise.
