Two monthly plans for the hosted console, each with a 30-day free trial, and a free way to run Cloudgate yourself. Invite as many people and make as many Projects as you like: only Servers and Cloud Environments are counted.
Hosted at cloudgate.octabyte.app, run by Octabyte
$15a month
For one team running its own apps.
$35a month
For companies with an identity provider.
On your own server
$0under the Elastic License 2.0
For teams that want to run Cloudgate themselves.
Add-on, $5 a month: one more Server and one more Cloud Environment, on either plan. Monthly only. A card starts the trial; cancel before it ends and nothing is charged.
Two things are counted: Servers and Cloud Environments. Each plan includes three of each, and each $5 Add-on raises both by one.
Adding a fourth Server is refused and an Add-on is offered. The three already running keep running.
Only the next addition is refused. If your plan holds three Servers and you try to add a fourth, Cloudgate says no and offers an Add-on. Nothing running is switched off, and no app is stopped because of a count.
Your plan pays for Cloudgate. The machines and cloud resources your apps run on are billed separately, and who bills you depends on where they come from.
Three setups, worked out from the prices on this page. Each total is what you pay Cloudgate; your servers and cloud resources are billed on top as described above.
Starter
$15a month to Cloudgate, plus your servers
Two Servers fit inside the three Starter includes.
Starter + 2 Add-ons
$25a month to Cloudgate, plus your servers
Each Add-on raises Servers and Cloud Environments by one.
Business + 1 Add-on
$40a month to Cloudgate, plus your servers
The fourth Server needs one Add-on; the Cloud Environment fits in the three included. AWS bills its own resources to you.
Every way of running Cloudgate deploys the same things. The differences are who runs it, what is counted, and the identity features larger companies ask for. Weighing other platforms too? See how Cloudgate compares with Heroku, Vercel, Render and Coolify.

Enterprise is a custom deal on the hosted console, with counts set for you and the Business features included. For a self-hosted Enterprise license we agree the price and billing period with you. Write to support@octabyte.io.
Not sure where to start? Deploy an app from a template during the trial, read what Cloudgate does, or see how AI agents deploy through Cloudgate.
Both hosted plans start with a 30-day free trial. You get the plan's full counts from day one, Add-ons cost nothing until the trial ends, and you can switch between Starter and Business while the clock runs. A Server you buy from Cloudgate is charged from the day you buy it, trial or not.
Yes. A card is needed to start it, and each Organization, person and card gets one trial. If the trial ends without a card or you cancel, nothing is charged.
Yes. Plans are paid monthly, with no yearly contract. Moving up to Business takes effect at once and is charged prorated; moving down to Starter takes effect at the end of the paid month and can be taken back until then.
An Environment that deploys to a cloud account (AWS or Google Cloud). It counts once against your plan however many cloud accounts or regions it uses. Connecting a cloud account counts nothing.
Only the next Server or Cloud Environment you try to add is refused. Nothing already running is stopped. Buy an Add-on for $5 and you can add one more of each.
Yes. You can run Cloudgate on your own Ubuntu server for free under the Elastic License 2.0, with one Organization and one build at a time per Server. An Enterprise license unlocks the rest. See how to self-host Cloudgate.
No. Cloudgate is source-available under the Elastic License 2.0: you can use, self-host and modify it for free, but you cannot offer it to others as a hosted service.
Yes, through Enterprise. Email support@octabyte.io and we agree the price, the counts and the billing period with you.
Every plan starts with a 30-day free trial. Bring a server, buy one from us, or connect AWS or Google Cloud.
