Where you sit
You crossed into tier 2 — billable vCPU 500 through 2,000 bills at $1.49 each. The first 100 stays free, the first 500 billable stay at $1.99.
Estimate only. Actual bill rounded to vCPU sampled hourly. Read the billing docs for the exact mechanic.

Flat $0.60 a vCPU, every month, no expiry.
You still get the first 100 vCPU free like everyone else — every billable vCPU above it bills at a flat $0.60, no tier math to track. We were a startup not long ago; one flat rate while you find product-market fit means one fewer thing to model.

Lowest rate. Named humans.
Once you cross 5,000 billable vCPU the rate drops to $0.60 and named humans land on your account. The number is on the page, not behind a “contact us”, and there are no surprise minimums.
Dedicated account manager
Quarterly business reviews. Roadmap influence. Single point of contact for procurement and renewals.
Dedicated support engineer
Named engineer. Visibility into our on-call rotation. Direct Slack channel with one-hour SLA on incidents.
Single-tenant deployment
Isolated infrastructure in your region of choice. No noisy neighbors, no shared write paths.
Custom contract terms
Multi-year agreements, custom DPAs, custom SCC, named vendor clauses. We have signed most of them.
Run Kubeadapt inside your perimeter.
Some teams cannot ship a single byte to a third-party SaaS. The Kubeadapt control plane is shippable. We will help you stand it up in your own cloud or your own datacenter, air-gapped if needed.
Customer-cloud install
Run the full Kubeadapt control plane in your own VPC. Helm chart plus Terraform module. Most customers stand up in a day.
Air-gapped deployment
For regulated workloads with no external egress. Image bundle, offline-licence flow, audited release process.
Pricing for on-prem. Same per-vCPU model with a quarterly minimum. Includes a shared support engineer and a release-train notification feed.
Common questions
Pricing, in the small print.
We sample the requested vCPU on every running pod once per minute and average over the billing month. We bill on requests, not on limits or actual usage, because requests are what your scheduler reserves. System namespaces (kube-system, kubeadapt) do not count.
Standard pricing is tiered against billable vCPU (total vCPU minus the free 100). Tier 1 covers the first 500 billable vCPU at $1.99, tier 2 covers the next 1,500 at $1.49, tier 3 covers the next 3,000 at $0.99, and tier 4 covers everything above 5,000 billable at $0.60. Each tier prices only the units inside it, the same way income tax brackets work — you never pay the higher rate on the lower slice.
The first 100 vCPU of your environment is always free, no matter the cluster count. The rest flows through the tiers. A 105 vCPU footprint pays 5 × $1.99 = $9.95 / month. A 1,500 vCPU footprint pays (500 × $1.99) + (900 × $1.49) = $2,336 / month on standard. A 6,100 vCPU footprint pays $6,800 / month. The 100 is applied to your total billable usage, not per cluster. Startups skip the tier math entirely and bill the same 6,000 billable at $0.60 = $3,600 / month.
Billable vCPU is averaged per minute over the month. A spike to 130 vCPU for two hours bills the extra 30 vCPU at the tier-1 rate ($1.99) for those two hours and nothing else. There is no retroactive penalty for the rest of the month and no cliff at 101 vCPU.
No. The agent runs in your cluster and consumes roughly 100m vCPU and 256Mi memory per node. We exclude it from the billable vCPU count automatically.
Yes. Tick the toggle in the calculator or email us. Standard is tiered; startup is a flat $0.60 / vCPU on billable usage. We confirm eligibility once a year. If you outgrow it (raised more than $6M, hired your 30th employee, or hit your third birthday) we move you to standard tiered pricing at the start of the next billing month, never mid-month.
Annual prepay gets you two months free (effectively 16.7% off). Multi-year contracts are available for enterprise; we do not discount the per-vCPU rate further but we lock it for the contract length.
Credit card, ACH, SEPA direct debit, and wire. Net-30 invoicing is available on annual contracts and for any account over $1,000 / mo. We bill in USD and EUR.
Yes. The free tier (any cluster ≤ 100 vCPU) is the trial. Most teams stay on it for the first cluster, then graduate to paid as they roll Kubeadapt out across production. No credit card to start.
The agent keeps running. The dashboard goes read-only after a 14-day grace period — you can still see historical data and export it, but new recommendations pause. Re-enable any time by clearing the balance.
Still uncertain? Email sales@kubeadapt.io and we will reply with the math worked out for your environment.
