Pricing And Licensing
Hosanna UI is an open-source framework written in TypeScript. This page explains what is free, what is licensed, and how companies typically work with Tantawowa to ship apps.
Open Source (Free)
- The Hosanna UI framework and all TypeScript sources are available under the MIT license.
- You can use, modify, and distribute the framework in your apps with no runtime fees.
TypeScript‑First
Your team can build TV apps using familiar TypeScript, state, and components—no Roku BrightScript expertise required.
Licensed Transpiler Technology
- The transpilation toolchain that targets Roku SceneGraph (and other native targets) is proprietary Tantawowa technology and requires a license for commercial use.
- This license covers the build-time tooling that converts Hosanna UI apps into platform packages.
Included With Services
Companies that hire Tantawowa to build their Hosanna apps receive a time‑boxed license to the transpiler to ship and maintain their apps.
Why Teams Choose Hosanna
- Use existing web/connected‑device developers; no need to hire or train Roku specialists.
- Predictable, maintainable codebases in TypeScript with modern tooling.
- Clear separation of framework (open) and packaging tools (licensed) keeps IP and costs transparent.
Working With Tantawowa
We build apps for clients, hand them over with documentation and source control, and teams support them in‑house using their existing developers. The framework is easy to adopt and the codebases are designed to be straightforward to maintain.
