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 Code, Codex, 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; with write permission the assistant changes it as well, so it does not only describe an application but builds it,
- 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
You set the connection up in three steps: in the “Change password” dialog you generate a personal MCP token on the “MCP token” tab, store it in an environment variable and enter the “api.aspx” page in the root of your instance as the address of the server in your AI tool — that is “https://identifier.netgenium.online/api.aspx”.
The procedure is the same for all instances of NET Genium and is described in detail, including a sample configuration, in the separate text Connecting an AI tool to the MCP server.
More detail is given in the 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.
The platform underneath is not new
NET Genium Online is a hosted form of a platform companies have been running for years in daily operation — hundreds of implementations and tens of thousands of users, with dozens of applications and millions of records in a single instance. In the Czech Republic the platform runs several of the state's significant information systems, which are regulated under the national Cybersecurity Act, so it meets the security requirements placed on public administration. Your instance runs in data centres within the European Union.
Pricing
One user free of charge, with no time limit
You create your instance without entering a payment card and use it free of charge with a single user — not for a month, but permanently. On the free plan the data allowance is limited to 100 MB.
Billing starts with the second user and the price is EUR 10 or USD 12 excl. VAT per user and month — you choose the currency when you place the order, and customers in the Czech Republic pay CZK 250.
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:
- with a single user nothing is deducted at all — the free plan lasts until you add another user,
- 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 charged to your card unless you ask for it — you can have the credit topped up automatically from a saved card, but only if you tick that option when you order; otherwise every payment is your decision.
A user you create during a month that is already paid for is 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.
Top up your credit before you add a second user. The free plan covers one user, so as soon as another one is added and there is no credit to deduct, the instance switches to read-only mode — and with three users you need to top up three credits, not one. If you go back down to a single user, the instance returns to the free plan and keeps running even without credit.
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 6 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
On the free plan the data allowance is limited to 100 MB. Once you top up your credit for the first time, the price includes a data allowance of 1 GB for every user:
| Users | Price per month | Data allowance |
| 1 | free | 100 MB |
| 2 | EUR 20 / USD 24 | 2 GB |
| 5 | EUR 50 / USD 60 | 5 GB |
| 20 | EUR 200 / USD 240 | 20 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 your agent gets for that price
The price buys a user, not a quota. What that means for anyone connecting an AI agent to their instance:
- Your own database, not a share of one. Every instance runs on a database of its own, with a real SQL data model — tables, columns, data types, relations and indexes.
- No cap on the number of records, neither per table nor per instance. The only ceiling is the storage space above, and it is the same space your attachments live in.
- Full read and write through the built-in MCP server, governed by the permissions of a personal token — not a narrow API bolted onto the side.
- The model of your implementation and the knowledge of the framework, so the agent works from the actual shape of your solution instead of guessing it.
- No metering of what the agent does. Calls, automations and integrations are not counted or charged separately.
That is the part worth comparing. Platforms that cap the records of a base, meter API calls or price automation runs separately make an agent expensive exactly when it becomes useful — at the point it starts reading and writing a lot.
What the same money buys elsewhere
List prices published by the vendors themselves, checked in September 2026 — per user and month, billed annually, excluding VAT. Read the ceiling, not only the number.
| NET Genium Online — EUR 10 / USD 12 | Your own database with no cap on the number of records, 1 GB of space per user included, and nothing counting what your agent reads or writes. |
| Airtable — USD 20 Team, USD 45 Business | A base is capped at 50,000 records on Team and 125,000 on Business; the free plan stops at 1,000. |
| Microsoft Power Apps — USD 22 Premium | No record cap of its own, but a licence brings 250 MB of Dataverse database space and 2 GB for files; further database capacity costs USD 40 per GB and month. |
| Quickbase — USD 35 Team, USD 55 Business | Seats are charged on top of a platform minimum fee, so the seat price is not the entry price. |
None of that makes those platforms bad — it makes them expensive for an agent. An agent earns its place exactly when it works at volume: it walks whole tables, counts, cross-checks and writes back what it derived. That is the moment a record cap is reached, a gigabyte of database space is billed or an automation run is metered. Here the only ceiling is the data allowance above, and it is the same one your attachments already use.
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),
- a remote connection through the web services of the NETGeniumConnection library — access to the data from console applications, services or a custom API project; data of the instance is accessed from your own code through the MCP server (see above),
- 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.
