lite version

Stripped-down software variant

A lite version is a reduced or simplified form of a product, typically software or an app, offering fewer features than the full version.

Lite versions are often free or cheaper, letting users try basic functionality before committing: The lite version limits you to five projects.

The spelling "lite" signals informality and commercial branding rather than the standard "light."
