## Which Edition Should You Choose?

### **Stakpak OSS (Open Source)**

You can use Stakpak entirely offline with the **open source edition**. It runs fully in your environment with your own key and requires no connection to the Stakpak API (except for fetching public Rulebooks from the Stakpak Registry, which is an unauthenticated API)

### **Stakpak Cloud**

When you connect to the **Stakpak Cloud**, you unlock advanced capabilities designed for team collaboration, evolving intelligence, and workflows, including:

* Shared[Rulebooks](/docs/how-it-works/rulebooks.md), Sessions, and [Memory (Knoweldge Store)](/docs/how-it-works/memory-knoweldge-store.md)
* Agent Recovery
* Intelligent Context Management
* Fast Documentation Research
* Discord support

### **Stakpak Enterprise**

For organizations with strict security, and compliance requirements. Stakpak Enterprise has everything in Stakpak Cloud plus:

* Full control over deployment with on-premise data storage
* Customizable Warden guardrails using Cedar policies
* Advanced security, compliance, and auditing capabilities
* Enterprise grade support, with a dedicated Slack Connect channel

[^1]: Access a curated library of DevOps best practices and standard operating procedures, curated and tested by real humans

[^2]: Get automatic recovery recommendations when your agents hallucinate or act out to keep them on track

[^3]: Allow you to let the agent run commands unattended without destructive infrastructure side effects, this network sandboxing technology works every single time, without needing whitelisting rules and hooks

[^4]: Advanced context engineering techniques that allow the agent to run longer, stay focused, and consume less tokens
