(Full disclosure: I work for Tyk): The free version of Tyk isn't hobbled, we don't withhold functionality from the open source gateway at all (in fact, that's where most of the new tech development goes).

All features are available and usable, even analytics gathering, though not with our dashboard (but that doesn't stop you using ELK or some other time series DB to store and analyse the data - that's why we have Tyk Pump, to remove any dependencies on our paid-for software).

The dashboard for our gateway is indeed closed and we charge for it, however if you are only running one gateway, then it's completely free.

For non-profits, we offer significant discounts, so it's worth getting in touch with us to see what we can do to help you out :-)

Thanks a lot for clearing that up! The gateway seems difficult to use without the dashboard, and I gave up on installing the dashboard at the point in the instructions where it said I had to get a trial license. I didn't realize you could keep renewing the "trial", as long as its just a single node. I'll give it another shot, because we might be able to get by with a single gateway, and if not, the non-profit discount sounds promising.
