Hello, if I use only Local Blynk Server for Commercial Purposes, without the App, what is the price?

Thank you

According to the licence on the GitHub site, it’s free…

But, what is the purpose without the app?

Thank you for your answer.
It could be used by the APIs (https://blynkapi.docs.apiary.io/)
Or am I missing something?

Yes, all of the functionality that goes with the mobile app - visualisations, interactivity, notifications, access to mobile device sensors etc etc.

Mine are just impressions.
Surely the features you mentioned justify the price.
Thank you PeteKnight
