Avni is open source so there is no license cost for the software. But there are other costs for - implementation, hosting and ongoing user support. Implementation is usually one time activity of configuring application as per your needs on the platform. When you want to start using the application then you will need hosting and perhaps ongoing user support. In order to understand the details of these cost please contact us avni-project@googlegroups.com - as the cost depends on the complexity of the implementation, number of users and workloads.
The getting started page is for this purpose. You can start from there and go through the documentation. The documentation currently is to only get you started, after which you please contact us on Gitter channel or using the Contact us form below.
Please check all the technical components of Avni here. Quite likely you will need to run all three components - server, database and reporting platform. AWS Cognito is used from the AWS cloud. If you plan to run of the servers on a single machine you would need a server with at least 8 GB RAM and 4 core CPU (or vCPU) for production environment. If you plan to run them separately then you will need to set up a server of 2 core and 4 GB RAM each (reporting platform could do with a slightly lower configuration). This excludes backups and replication, which you can setup according to your needs. Typical running cost for you on AWS infrastructure with reserved instances could be around - 12,000 rupees a month (excluding the cost of people involved in managing the system).
You do not have to pay anything for the software. It is freely available. Please see more details on the about page. The pricing is for the cloud hosted service.
