- Suitable for local evaluation, staging pilots, and integration feedback
- Breaking changes may occur between alpha tags — see Release Policy
- Does not require Filament or Pro
Filament Standard (dbflowlabs/filament)
- Alpha / Free — MIT-licensed admin UI layer
- Depends on Core and Filament 5.6+
- Optional — Core runs workflows without any Filament pages
Pro Builder (dbflowlabs/filament-pro)
- Early Access / Commercial — visual definition authoring
- Available at $129/year via Creem — see Pricing
- Private Composer package access for active license holders; some delivery steps may be manual during Early Access

- Contact hello@dbflow.dev for early conversations only
Compatibility
Requirements below match the published Installation docs and current package constraints.

8.3+ | 13.x | N/A |
dbflowlabs/filament |

Pro Builder targets the same Laravel and Filament baseline as Core and Filament Standard. When Pro leaves preview, compatibility will be documented per tagged release.
Safe to evaluate?
Yes — for side projects, staging environments, and demos:
- Core and Filament Standard install via Composer without a Pro license
- Local and
*.test/*.localhosts do not consume production entitlement during evaluation - Workflow state lives in dedicated
dbflow_workflow_*tables — your domain models stay separate
DBFlow is not positioned as production-hardened until stable releases are published. Treat alpha integrations as reversible pilots.
