Our Pricing Philosophy

Air-Gap Premium

On-premise and air-gapped deployments provide complete data sovereignty and zero dependency on our uptime. Critical for medtech, pharma, and defense organizations that can't risk internet connectivity or cloud outages.

Value-Based Pricing

Our pricing reflects compliance automation value that saves weeks of manual validation work, reduces audit burden, and accelerates deployment from months to hours. The ROI speaks for itself.

Predictable Budgeting

On-premise tiers use flat annual licenses with known renewal costs. No surprise overage bills, no per-deployment fees that multiply with scale. Budget accurately years in advance.

No Seat-Based Traps

We don't charge per user or per deployed system. Your entire organization can collaborate on builds, and you can deploy to unlimited nodes without license multiplication or hidden fees.

Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as a "build"?

A build is one generation of a bootable ISO image. Whether you're creating a minimal server image or a full desktop environment with hundreds of packages, it counts as one build. Rebuilding the same configuration with different features counts as a new build.

Can I deploy the same build to multiple machines?

Yes! Once you build an ISO, you can deploy it to unlimited machines on your own infrastructure at no additional cost. There are no per-device, per-deployment, or runtime licensing fees.

How does on-premise licensing work?

On-premise licenses are sold as annual subscriptions that include the software, unlimited builds/deployments, support, and all updates/security patches. You install and run the entire build system on your infrastructure (cloud or on-prem). Licenses renew annually with predictable pricing.

Can I switch from cloud to on-premise?

Absolutely. We provide migration support to help you transition from cloud SaaS to on-premise deployment. Your build history, configurations, and team settings transfer seamlessly. Cloud credits may apply toward first-year on-premise licensing.

What's included in on-premise deployment?

You receive the complete OpenFactory build system (web interface, build workers, API, CLI tools), installation documentation, and support to get you running. Professional and Enterprise tiers include air-gap compatibility (no internet required after installation).

How is software delivered for air-gapped environments?

For air-gapped deployments, we provide the software via secure download (before air-gap) or physical USB drive. Quarterly updates can be delivered the same way. All dependencies and package repositories are included for offline operation.

How does GxP compliance work?

Professional and Enterprise on-premise tiers include GxP validation features: audit logging, user accountability, change control, and automated testing. Professional tier includes 21 CFR Part 11 compliance documentation. Enterprise adds custom Computer System Validation (CSV) support and regulatory authority certifications.

What if I need more builds than my cloud plan includes?

Professional cloud tier includes 1,000 builds/month with overage billed at $0.50 per additional build. If you consistently need more than 2,000 builds/month, on-premise licensing with unlimited builds is more cost-effective.

Do you offer multi-year contracts?

Yes. Multi-year on-premise contracts typically receive 10-15% discounts compared to annual renewal pricing. Cloud annual contracts receive a 15% discount versus monthly billing. Contact sales for custom terms.

Can I try Professional features before committing?

Yes. We offer a 14-day free trial of cloud Professional tier with full access to GxP compliance, automated testing, and all advanced features. For on-premise evaluation, we provide time-limited evaluation licenses or hosted proof-of-concept deployments. No credit card required.
