Introducing Our New Self-Service Plan for Orkes Cloud

Today, we’re thrilled to announce a new 14-day free trial and self-service option for our customers. This option enables developers, architects, and engineering teams to get immediate access to Orkes Conductor and Orkes Cloud.

Why are we doing this?

We have been onboarding customers of all types and sizes but as our volume increases, we have to ensure those interested in Orkes can get access to the platform as fast as possible. In addition to expediting this process, the new Enterprise Base plan will give all types and sizes of teams and businesses an opportunity to trial and utilize the full power of Orkes Cloud and customize pricing plans based on their needs and budgets.

New Enterprise Base plan and Enterprise Add-Ons

The new Enterprise Base plan will allow customers to sign up for a free trial and immediately get access to a provisioned Orkes Conductor cluster. Additionally, customers can customize their Enterprise plan with Enterprise Add-Ons to increase the power, functionality, and capacity of their Conductor clusters.

• The Free Trial is a 14-day trial in which customers get access to a full list of features that are otherwise not included in the Enterprise Base plan. Customers are not required to input a credit card to initiate the trial.
• The Enterprise Base plan is a base-level plan starting at $695/month billed annually. Customers can upgrade their plan with add-ons at any point during their contract on the Orkes Cloud Platform.
• Enterprise Add-Ons are available at a custom price point depending on the types of add-ons they choose. Add-ons consist of both additional features as well as upgrades to cluster sizes and number of users.

Below are some of the important features and add-ons available with the Free Trial, Enterprise Base plan, and Enterprise Add-Ons.
