Fit
Who should buy this edition — and who should not
The exclusions matter as much as the inclusions: most mis-sized deals start with the wrong edition.
Who it targets
Mid-market and single-cloud enterprises · departmental IT
Buy when
Visibility and control are the problem, and time-to-value must be days, not quarters.
The outcome
Governance from day one — not a retrofit.
A good fit
- One organisation on AWS, Azure and/or GCP with up to 5 cloud accounts and about 1,000 resources
- Teams that need one inventory, a provisioning catalog and cost visibility before sprawl sets in
- SaaS companies and departmental IT answering their first customer security questionnaires
Look elsewhere if
- Estates with on-prem VMware, Hyper-V or Nutanix — the Edge Agent is Enterprise & up
- Oracle, Alibaba or Huawei Cloud accounts, or more than one tenant
- Migration programmes, continuous audit evidence or IaC generation — those families are Enterprise & up

Questions
Licensing and deployment questions
What is included, what is still beta, and how the edition is deployed.
01What exactly is included at $24,000 a year?
Inventory & Discovery, Cloud Connectors for AWS, Azure and GCP, Identity & Access, the Service Catalog, basic ITSM, Observe, Whalenomics essentials and Whale AI Spark with 1M tokens a month — for 5 cloud accounts, 1,000 managed resources and 10 users, on SaaS or BYOC.
02What happens when we outgrow it?
Upgrading to Enterprise is a licence change on the same deployment: the extra clouds, the Edge Agent, the Migration Engine, Cloud Audit & Evidence and the full Whale AI tiers switch on. Nothing is migrated.
03Is there a discount for longer terms?
Yes — 10% on a 2-year term and 15% on a 3-year term, on the published price.
