Product Editions and Feature Matrix

Editions

• CADET Lite: Free edition focused on reliable Unity build automation, profile reuse, and queue based local execution.
• CADET Pro: Paid edition that includes everything in Lite, plus publishing workflows for Steam and Epic, macOS notarization, Git Sync, and credential tooling.

Which Edition Fits Your Workflow

• Choose Lite if your current need is predictable local build output with minimal setup.
• Choose Pro if you need release automation beyond build generation, especially store publishing and notarization.
• Start in Lite and upgrade later if your release process grows, profiles and core build workflows transfer naturally.

Feature Matrix

Feature	Lite	Pro
Unity Build execution	Yes	Yes
Build Queue	Yes	Yes
Directory Sync mode	Yes	Yes
Git Sync mode	No	Yes
Publish to Steam	No	Yes
Publish to Epic Games Store	No	Yes
macOS notarization workflow	No	Yes
Publishing Tools window	No	Yes
Steam/Epic/macOS credential wizards	No	Yes

What This Means In Practice

• Lite supports a complete build only pipeline: profile configuration, workspace sync, queue execution, and artifact generation.
• Pro adds release pipeline steps after a build completes: publish to Steam, publish to Epic, and notarize macOS outputs.
• If a Pro only feature is selected in Lite, CADET blocks that action and shows validation guidance.

Practical Meaning

• [Pro] steps require CADET Pro.
• Unmarked steps can be performed in any edition.
• If a [Pro] feature is unavailable, CADET will disable that action in the UI.

Typical Paths

• Lite path: profile setup, directory sync or queue setup, Unity build.
• Pro path: profile setup, sync mode selection, Unity build, optional publish and notarization.

Upgrade Checklist: Lite To Pro

1. Keep your existing build profiles and verify paths are correct.
2. Install dependencies in Publishing Tools: Cosmos, SteamCMD, Epic BuildPatchTool.
3. Configure credentials for Steam, Epic, or Apple notarization.
4. Add publishing fields to profiles and run one staging release before production.
