Frequently Asked Questions
Is the free tier really free forever?
Yes! The Community Free tier is completely free forever for teams up to 5 users and 10 environments. You get full environment management, unlimited booking, basic Terraform automation (1 project, 3 workspaces, 1 cloud connection), and AI capabilities (bring your own LLM API key). No credit card required, no time limits. Perfect for startups and small teams.
What does BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) mean for AI?
With the free tier, you get all AI features (natural language to code, suggestions, error explanations) but you need to provide your own API key from OpenAI, Anthropic, or other LLM providers. Starting from Infrastructure Starter tier ($28k/year), we provide the API key and cover the AI costs - no setup needed.
Can I start small and upgrade later?
Absolutely! Start free, then upgrade to Environment Starter at $9.2k/year when you hit 5 users. Need SSO? Upgrade to Environment Enterprise ($17k). Need Terraform+AI? Choose Infrastructure Starter ($28k). Need everything? Infrastructure Enterprise ($36k) or Ultimate ($48k). We make it easy to migrate between tiers at renewal.
What makes the Infrastructure Starter tier special?
The Infrastructure Starter tier ($28k/year) includes our unique AI Terraform Co-Pilot that writes infrastructure code from natural language, plus full Terraform automation. This feature is exclusive to realm9 - no competitor offers this. Teams report 3-5x faster Terraform development.
Do I really save 70-79% compared to competitors?
Yes! Typical enterprise setups cost: Plutora ($40-50k) + Terraform Cloud/Spacelift ($40-70k) + custom AI tools ($20-30k) = $100-150k/year. realm9 Infrastructure Starter tier gives you all of this for just $28k/year - that's 74-81% savings while getting MORE features in a single unified platform. Even our Ultimate tier with FinOps ($48k) saves you 65-72%.
When do I need the Enterprise tier?
Choose Environment Enterprise ($17k/year) if you only need environment management + SSO/SAML but no Terraform. Choose Infrastructure Enterprise ($38k/year) if you need Terraform + AI + enterprise security (SSO/SAML, SCIM, MFA). Perfect for regulated industries (banking, healthcare, government).
Is realm9 SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certified?
realm9 is not currently certified, but we implement all required security controls for SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 compliance. Our Enterprise tier includes comprehensive audit logging, MFA, SCIM provisioning, session security, and encryption - all designed to meet these standards. Since realm9 is self-hosted on your infrastructure, you maintain control over data residency and security configurations, making it easier to pass your own compliance audits.
What's included in FinOps features?
Ultimate tier ($48k/year) includes real-time cost tracking across clouds, budget alerts, showback/chargeback reports, AI-powered cost optimization recommendations, and idle resource detection. Many customers save more than the license cost in cloud waste reduction - just finding $4,000/month in cloud waste pays for the entire license.
Is setup really included?
Yes! All paid tiers include deployment on your cloud infrastructure (AWS/Azure/GCP), configuration, and onboarding. Higher tiers get more onboarding sessions (up to 4 with Enterprise tier) and ongoing training.
How does the 14-day evaluation work?
Sign up and get instant access to Infrastructure Enterprise tier features (Terraform, AI, SSO/SAML, SCIM, MFA, session security). The 14-day period is designed for evaluation purposes only - test workflows, validate features, and see if realm9 fits your needs. This is not for production use. After evaluation, we'll deploy the self-hosted version with your chosen tier on your infrastructure for production.
Can I use the trial for production workloads?
No, the 14-day evaluation is for testing and validation only. It's hosted on our shared infrastructure for quick evaluation. For production use, you'll need a self-hosted license deployed on your own infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP, or on-premise). This ensures you have complete control, data residency, and enterprise-grade performance.
Do I need a credit card to start the evaluation?
No! Absolutely no credit card required for the 14-day evaluation. We want you to test the full platform risk-free. Only provide payment when you're ready to deploy self-hosted for production use.
Can I pay monthly instead of annually?
Yes! All our annual pricing can be paid monthly with a 1-year contract commitment. For example, the Infrastructure Starter tier ($28k/year) can be paid as $2,333/month. Monthly payments give you better cash flow management while locking in the annual rate.
What are the volume discounts?
We offer 15% off for 2-year contracts, 25% off for 3-year contracts, 20% off for multi-tenant deployments (3+ instances), and 40% off for non-profit/education organizations.
Evaluate Enterprise Features Free for 14 Days
No credit card required. Full access to Infrastructure Enterprise tier (Terraform, AI, SSO/SAML, SCIM, MFA) for evaluation. After 14 days, deploy self-hosted on your infrastructure for production use. We handle the entire setup.
