Pricing
Priced on what you protect, not on what you promise to buy
Start free on the platform with no card. From there, three commercial models — SaaS, License (Team or Enterprise) and OEM. The number depends on how much you seal and where it runs — so we quote it in a conversation rather than guessing on a page. Here is exactly what shapes it, and what you get in each model.
Free tier — no card, no code changes
No appliance capex — custody scales as software
Deploys into your own cloud accounts
Exit-ready by design — spend stays negotiable
What moves the number
Four inputs, and you already know three of them
01
How much you seal
Pricing follows protected workloads, not seats — so it tracks the thing you actually get value from.
02
Where it runs
Hyperscaler, European provider, on-prem or a mix. Deployment into your own accounts keeps infrastructure cost yours.
03
Custody depth
Key custody alone is the smallest footprint; adding secrets, attestation policy and evidence automation moves the number.
04
What you must prove
A supervised institution needs mappings, audit support and contractual terms an unregulated team does not.
Three ways to buy
One platform, three commercial models
1
SaaS
Start free, then pay per use — including bring-your-own-subscription (BYOS) — or get your private eMCP.
2
License
Team or Enterprise: run the platform under your own license, in your own accounts and operational model.
3
OEM
For ISVs that build on and inside enclaive's platforms — embed the trust layer in your own product.

Q·01
Why isn't the price on the page?
−
Because a number without your workload count, cloud mix and compliance regime would be a guess, and you'd have to redo it in the first call anyway. What we can do is be specific about what moves it — that's the section above — and give you a written quote within a single conversation rather than a procurement cycle.
Q·02
What does the free tier actually include?
+
Enough to prove the mechanism: one confidential workload in your own cloud account, with exportable attestation evidence. No card, no code changes, no sales contact required.
Q·03
Is it per seat, per workload or per core?
+
Per protected workload. Seats don't correlate with the value you get, and core-based pricing punishes exactly the compute-heavy workloads confidential computing is for.
Q·04
Do we pay for the cloud infrastructure separately?
+
Yes — deployment lands in your own cloud accounts, so infrastructure stays on your existing provider contracts and commitments. That's deliberate: it keeps your exit cheap and your negotiating position intact.
Q·05
Do cloud providers charge extra when we use enclaive?
+
There is no enclaive-specific surcharge. Some cloud providers price confidential-computing-ready instance types differently from standard instances; the difference varies by provider and instance family.
Q·06
What happens to our existing HSM investment?
+
It coexists. The vHSM bridges to certified physical HSMs where policy requires a hardware root of trust, so appliances retire on their depreciation schedule rather than on ours.
Q·07
Can we start small and expand?
+
That's the intended path — most programs start with key custody or one blocked workload, then expand along the evidence. Nothing in the pricing model penalises phased adoption.
