Enterprise is not a fixed plan. It is a custom arrangement for organizations that need more than Pro provides. There is no self-serve Enterprise tier in the dashboard.
Talk to us about your requirements, pricing, and migration plan.
Compare the available plans and their included resources.
## What Enterprise provides
### Custom resource limits
Pro has fixed limits ({billingPlans.pro.limits.managedMachines} machines, {billingPlans.pro.limits.cpuCores} CPU cores, {billingPlans.pro.limits.memoryGiB} GiB). Enterprise workspaces get custom limits set per workspace. Contact us to discuss your numbers.
### Dedicated support
* Direct access to the engineering team.
* Custom onboarding and migration assistance.
* Priority issue resolution.
* Architecture review for your deployment.
### Compliance and security
Enterprise customers often require:
* **Data residency**: workloads stay in specific regions (EU, US, or custom).
* **ISO 27001** and **SOC 2** certification (planned).
* **GDPR** compliance documentation.
* **Dedicated infrastructure**: isolated control planes with no shared resources.
* **Security reviews**: we participate in your vendor assessment process.
### Flexible billing
* Annual contracts with volume discounts.
* Usage-based billing for compute beyond the included allocation.
* Consolidated invoicing across multiple workspaces.
* Custom payment terms.
## How Enterprise differs from Pro
| | Pro | Enterprise |
| - | - | - |
| **Price** | {billingPlans.pro.price.amount}/month fixed | {billingPlans.enterprise.price.amount} ({billingPlans.enterprise.price.billingNote}) |
| **Limits** | {billingPlans.pro.limits.managedMachines} machines, {billingPlans.pro.limits.cpuCores} CPU, {billingPlans.pro.limits.memoryGiB} GiB | Custom per workspace |
| **Instance types** | All provider types | All, plus reserved capacity |
| **Support** | {billingPlans.pro.support} | {billingPlans.enterprise.support} |
| **Compliance** | Shared infrastructure | Dedicated option, certifications |
| **Billing** | {billingPlans.pro.billing} | {billingPlans.enterprise.billing} |
| **Onboarding** | Self-serve docs | Hands-on migration support |
## Bring your own key with Enterprise
Most enterprise customers use BYOM (bring your own machine) alongside their custom limits. This combination provides:
* **No Akua compute costs**: you pay your provider directly at their published prices.
* **No compute quotas**: BYOM bypasses machine, CPU, and memory limits regardless of plan.
* **Full provider choice**: any instance type, any region, any account.
* **Akua manages Kubernetes**: cluster lifecycle, auto-scaling, monitoring, and suspend/resume.
* **Enterprise support**: dedicated engineering contact for the management layer.
* **Transparent costs**: your cloud bill is between you and your provider, visible in their console.
**Zero infrastructure markup.** You bring your own cloud account (Hetzner or any supported provider). You pay that provider at their published prices. Akua charges only for the management subscription, never a percentage on top of infrastructure costs.
## Getting started
Enterprise arrangements are handled directly. Contact us to discuss:
* Your workload requirements (machines, CPU, memory, regions).
* Compliance needs (certifications, data residency).
* Billing preferences (annual, usage-based, invoiced).
* Migration timeline (existing infrastructure to Akua).
30-minute call to discuss your requirements, pricing, and migration timeline.
