Adaptive Pay-As-You-Go Pricing Model

Our bespoke pricing strategy charges you only for the resources you consume, rather than the full server capacity. This method guarantees that your expenses reflect your true usage, leading to a more equitable and precise billing system. Our pricing is structured around Cloudlets – defined units of cloud resources – consumed on an hourly basis. This approach offers transparent billing and fosters cost-effectiveness, enabling you to tailor your spending to your exact requirements.

Active Cloudlets:

Experience instant dynamic scaling for your application, ensuring you only pay for the resources you utilise. Utilise the topology wizard to scale and set precise limits for each server.
