Pricing Overview

KOSTRA is packaged to match how enterprises adopt a FinOps practice — starting with visibility, adding optimization and governance, and eventually running modernization and AI-assisted insights at scale. KOSTRA is available as a managed SaaS subscription or self-hosted, and is priced by capability and support — not as a percentage of your cloud spend, so packaging never becomes a tax on the very bill you are trying to reduce.

Editions

KOSTRA is available in three editions.

Essentials

Essentials is for teams establishing cost visibility across their clouds. It covers billing ingestion, resource discovery, dashboards, and the core recommendation modules, with every supported provider — including Huawei Cloud — available from day one. Choose Essentials when the immediate goal is a single, trustworthy view of what you spend.

Professional

Professional adds the governance and optimization depth that a maturing FinOps practice needs — chargeback and allocation rules, the full recommendation catalog, reserved-capacity analysis, and the workload modernization engine. Choose Professional when you are ready to attribute spend to owners and act on optimization and modernization opportunities systematically.

Enterprise

Enterprise is for organizations running KOSTRA as core governance infrastructure across many accounts and business units. It layers on the scale, support, and configuration needed for large multi-cloud estates, along with AI-assisted insights and priority access to the KOSTRA team. Choose Enterprise when KOSTRA is a system of record that finance and engineering depend on daily.

Capability boundaries between editions can be tailored to your rollout; the table describes the typical shape rather than a rigid limit.

Professional services

Software is only part of a successful FinOps program. KOSTRA offers professional services to accelerate outcomes:
  • Assessment — a structured review of your cloud estate, cost drivers, and quick-win opportunities.
  • Migration and modernization support — hands-on help executing the moves KOSTRA surfaces, including cross-cloud replatforming.
  • FinOps coaching — enablement for your analysts and architects so the practice is sustainable after go-live.

How to get pricing

Pricing depends on the edition, the size of your estate, and the services you need. Because those variables move, current figures are not published here. Contact the KOSTRA team for a quote tailored to your environment, and ask about an evaluation deployment to validate coverage against your own accounts before you commit.
