It seems Neo4J High Availability is only available for the Enterprise edition which is paid- is there another alternative to achieve replication without that module? (i.e. without cost). Thanks for any help!
Community Edition is licensed as open source under the GPLv3 and represents the majority of our investment as a company. Enterprise Edition adds advanced operations and security features. We also include a small number of additional advanced features for customers who contribute via their subscription.
That said, Neo4j Enterprise Edition is also available for free for a number of uses: Startups with <=50 employees can contact us to receive a free Startup License for Neo4j Enterprise, and anybody & everybody can get a free-for-development use (single-user, local desktop/ single machine) license via Neo4j Desktop.
Neo4j Desktop is free to download and includes a Neo4j Enterprise Edition Developer license. This gives you access to all the capabilities and features of Neo4j Enterprise Edition, with the limitation that these can only be used by you and on a single machine.
Update:
This answer has changed. Neo4j is now open core, so the Enterprise code is no longer dual-licensed - only the commercial license option remains.

Original Answer:
Enterprise is available as quid-pro-quo - if you put your code out under an open source license, then you get access to the open source Neo4j Enterprise free of charge. However, if you are closed source, Neo Tech charges a license fee. This fee is determined by your needs and your ability to pay - if you are a small outfit with no venture capital, it's still free, and then the licensing cost increases as your ability to pay back to the development of Neo4j increases.
If your application is open-source as you mention, then you are free to use Neo4j Enterprise without paying for it, simply download it at neo4j.org.
