NET Genium without installation
NET Genium Online is the NET Genium platform operated as a service.
You need no server, no license key and no help from your IT department. You create your own instance in a few minutes and start building applications right away.
It is the same framework the enterprise systems of our customers run on, with the same designer for forms, view pages, scripts and database queries. The difference is not in what you can build, but in the fact that you do not have to run it.
How it works
Three steps to your own instance
- Choose an identifier for your organization.
- A separate instance with its own database is created at identifier.netgenium.online.
- You receive the administrator credentials by e-mail and can start working.
Every instance has its own database and is isolated from all others. Your data is not shared with anyone else.
AI builds your applications
Describe what you need — the application is created
A new instance is not an empty screen you have to figure out on your own. Right on the NET Genium home page you will find the option to have an application built by artificial intelligence: you describe in your own words what you need to keep track of and how the process works in your organization.
From that description the AI creates a working application — editing forms with the appropriate controls, the underlying database tables, and view pages for working with the records. The result is not a preview or a design on paper: you can open the application straight away and start entering data.
You can have as many applications built this way as you need, not just the first one. Whenever there is another agenda to keep track of, you describe it the same way and the AI builds another application — and the number of applications in your instance does not affect the price.
You then develop each generated application further with the standard tools of the platform — adding fields, adjusting form layouts, extending business logic and permissions. You are never locked into whatever the AI produced.
Connecting your own AI agent
The MCP server of your instance
NET Genium Online comes with an MCP server (Model Context Protocol) that lets you connect your own AI assistant to your instance — Claude, Claude Code, Microsoft Copilot Studio or any other tool supporting the protocol. It is part of every instance, so there is nothing to install, and it gives the assistant three kinds of knowledge:
- the data of your applications — the assistant reads the records, counts them and looks into the change history; with write permission it can change the data as well,
- the model of your implementation — applications, forms, controls, permissions and the data model, always read only,
- the knowledge of the framework — the documentation of NET Genium and the conventions of the platform, so that the assistant designs forms, queries and scripts according to the current standards rather than to general habits.
The model of the implementation and the knowledge of the framework are available to every token whose owner has administrator rights; reading and writing data are turned on separately as permissions of the token.
Setting up the server
- Sign in to your instance and open the Change password link in the My settings section of the navigation area.
- On the MCP token tab click Generate token and turn on the Read all data through the MCP server permission (write only if the assistant is meant to change the data as well).
- The token is shown only once — store it in an environment variable, for example “NETGENIUM_MCP_TOKEN”.
- In your AI tool enter the “api.aspx” page in the root of your instance as the address of the server.
The configuration for Claude Code (the “.mcp.json” file) looks like this — replace “identifier” with the address of your instance:
{
"mcpServers": {
"netgenium": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://identifier.netgenium.online/api.aspx",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer ${NETGENIUM_MCP_TOKEN}"
}
}
}
}
Never write the token into the file — referring to an environment variable keeps it out of your version control. The token is valid for 90 days and one click extends it; only the value of the variable changes then, the configuration file stays as it is.
More detail is given in the separate texts The integrated MCP server and Agentic development.
What you get in NET Genium Online
The complete application designer
All platform tools for designing applications are available:
- editing forms — they create and maintain the underlying database tables automatically,
- view pages — tables, charts, calendars, planners, kanban boards, maps and tree structures,
- the database query designer — queries are composed visually, with no SQL to write,
- the script designer — business logic bound to form events,
- print templates — output to XLSX, DOCX, PDF, HTML, CSV and TXT,
- reports and statistical overviews of your data.
Access control and auditability
- permissions at the level of applications, forms and individual controls,
- user groups and roles,
- change history for every record — who changed what and when,
- record ownership and rules governing who may edit what.
Operations on our side
- regular database backups,
- continuous updates of the framework core,
- encrypted connections and operation on European servers.
Pricing
The first month is free
You create your instance without entering a payment card and use it free of charge for the first month after it is created — no matter how many users you create during it. After the first month the price is EUR 10 excl. VAT per user and month.
You are charged only for the users you actually create in your instance. The number of applications, forms or records does not affect the price.
You pay with credit, not a standing order
Running your instance is paid for with credit, not with a recurring card payment. One credit is one user for one month:
- when your instance is created, we add the credit that pays for its first month of operation — the first month is free no matter how many users you have, the rule “one credit is one user for one month” only applies from the second month on,
- from then on the credit is deducted once a month, always on the monthly anniversary of the registration,
- as many credits are deducted as you have users on the day of the deduction,
- you top up any amount you like, whenever you like,
- you order the credit right inside your instance — we issue an invoice based on the order and add the credit once it is paid,
- nothing is ever charged to your card automatically — every payment is your decision.
A user you create during the month is therefore free until the next deduction, and a user you remove is paid for the month that has just been charged. There is nothing to report and no plan to change.
Before the first anniversary of the registration, top up as many credits as you have users. The credit we grant covers exactly one month, so without a top-up the instance stops on that first anniversary — and with three users you need to top up three credits, not one.
Credit left over is never lost
Credit is prepaid running time — it does not have to add up to whole months. If you do not have enough credit for a whole month on the day of a deduction, the rest is converted into the matching part of that month and the instance keeps running until it ends:
- with three users and a single credit, the instance is paid for one third of the month,
- nothing is forfeited — the credit simply runs out during the month rather than at the end of it,
- if you top the credit up once the instance has already stopped, the service resumes immediately.
Your current credit balance and the day your instance is paid for up to are shown inside your instance. Before your credit runs out, we notify you by e-mail. Only after that day does the instance switch to read-only mode — your data stays accessible and the service resumes once you top the credit up. We may delete an instance no sooner than twelve months after it switched to read-only mode, and always notify you by e-mail at least 30 days in advance — the details are described in the license terms.
The users charged for are those who belong to at least one user group, plus the administrator account, which is always counted. When an employee leaves, it is enough to remove them from the groups — you can keep the account for the ownership of records and the change history, and it stops being charged.
Data allowance
The price includes a data allowance of 5 GB per instance plus 2 GB for every user:
| Users | Price per month | Data allowance |
| 1 | EUR 10 | 7 GB |
| 5 | EUR 50 | 15 GB |
| 20 | EUR 200 | 45 GB |
The allowance covers both data and attachments — that is, the records in your database as well as any uploaded documents and images. If your solution outgrows this level, it is usually the right moment to move to a full NET Genium installation.
What NET Genium Online does not include
NET Genium Online is intended for applications you build and maintain yourself in a browser. The following platform capabilities are available only with a full installation of NET Genium on the customer's server or in the customer's cloud:
- external functions — custom application logic written in C#,
- scheduled tasks executed on the server,
- companion Windows services (for example data synchronization, payment matching or automated e-mail processing),
- importing application groups from another instance,
- operation on your own infrastructure and integration with internal systems inside a corporate network,
- contractual support and a guaranteed service level (SLA).
When to move to a full installation
NET Genium Online and a full NET Genium installation are built on the same framework, so applications created online are never a dead end. As soon as your organization reaches any of the limits above, we move the whole database of your instance to the full installation — your applications and their data carry on unchanged, with nothing to export or convert.
The usual reasons to move are custom application logic in C#, integration with internal systems, automated background processing, or the requirement to run inside your own network.
If you are not sure which option fits your needs, get in touch — we will be glad to discuss it with you.
