Billing

KintoHub uses a Pay-As-You-Go billing similar to Amazon, Google, and Azure. Once a credit card is attached to your account, you will be able to access all the features of KintoHub without any limitations. KintoHub does not plan to charge for seats or specific features aside from the three ways your team may utilize the platform.

  • Free - users may deploy up to 3 services with up to 256 Mb and shared vCPU with minimal limitations
  • Pay-As-You-Go - users have no limits to what they can deploy on the KintoHub Platform.
  • Private Clusters - We provide Startup, Small Business, and Enterprise licenses to a private version of the KintoHub platform across your company's multi-cloud, multi-region and on-prem hardware.
