Pricing
Two published prices. Two shaped to the estate.
Standard and Enterprise are flat, published list prices. Telco & Datacenter and Government are priced per operator or per contract — metered on network elements, racks or sovereignty scope rather than cloud accounts.
Term discounts apply to the published Standard and Enterprise prices.

What drives the price
Four inputs, and a worked example
Every proposal is built from the same four numbers. Bring them to the quote and the answer comes back in days, not a procurement cycle.
Managed resources
How many discovered resources you bring under management. Each edition includes a quota; overage bands apply above it.
Cloud accounts
How many cloud accounts you connect. On-prem sites join through the Edge Agent and count by resource, not by account.
Deployment mode
SaaS in five regions, BYOC in your accounts, on-premises, sovereign air-gapped or edge.
Operator or sovereign scope
Telco & Datacenter is metered per network element or per rack; Government per contract and accreditation scope.
Worked example
A bank with 60 AWS and Azure accounts, 180,000 discovered resources and two VMware sites, deployed BYOC in its own accounts, fits inside Enterprise at $120,000 a year — all fourteen modules, 1,000 users and Whale AI at 100M tokens a month included. On a three-year term the list price is $102,000 a year.

The unit: a Managed Resource Unit (MRU) is one discovered resource under management — an instance, a bucket, a database, a VM.
Modules by editionFAQ
Pricing questions, answered
Upgrade path, Whale AI allowances, sovereign deployment, proof-of-concept terms and procurement.
01Can I upgrade to a higher edition later?
Yes — editions are licensing configurations of one platform, not separate products. Upgrading from Standard to Enterprise (or from Enterprise to Telco & Datacenter or Government) is a licensing change, not a migration or re-deployment.
02How is Whale AI priced?
Every licence includes a Whale AI tier and a monthly token allowance — both are in the table above. Additional token packs are available as add-ons; on the Government Edition the allowance runs in-region, on local models only.
03Do you offer BYOC or air-gapped sovereign deployment?
Yes — the deployment models per edition are in the table above. The Government Edition is built for air-gapped sovereign deployment: FIPS-validated crypto, PAM always on, a WORM-backed audit log, in-region AI only and an offline update channel.
04Is there a proof-of-concept option?
Yes — the 90-day prototype. A half-day discovery workshop agrees the success criteria, then the platform runs on your own estate for 90 days with no licence cost and is scored on those criteria before any licensing decision. Conversion pricing is agreed up front.
05Which currencies and procurement routes do you support?
USD list prices; INR and AED invoicing through the Indian and UAE entities; USD through the Delaware entity. Government buys through tender or empanelment on 3–5 year fixed-bid terms; partners can transact through the Partner Portal.
06What about the DPA and security review?
A DPA covering GDPR Article 28 and DPDP is standard. Five ISO certifications, a SOC 2 Type II readiness assessment and a CSA STAR Level 1 self-assessment are downloadable from the Trust Center; full audit reports are available under NDA.
