Since launching last year, thousands of users and hundreds of
|
||
companies, from startups to Fortune 500 Enterprises, have chosen Pulumi
|
||
for cloud applications and infrastructure delivery across AWS, Azure,
|
||
Google Cloud, and Kubernetes. Today we are announcing important changes
|
||
to better align our product and pricing with how we've heard you want to
|
||
use Pulumi in production. We're optimistic that these changes will help
|
||
companies of all sizes choose Pulumi, enabling their teams to deliver
|
||
cloud applications and infrastructure faster and more reliably.
|
||

|
||
|
||
The net result is three paid editions:
|
||
|
||
- **Team Starter Edition**: for teams just getting started with Pulumi
|
||
- **Team Pro Edition**: for medium to large teams using Pulumi at
|
||
scale
|
||
- **Enterprise Edition**: for large organizations using Pulumi with
|
||
advanced needs
|
||
|
||
**Pulumi Community Edition** remains unchanged, and is free for
|
||
unlimited individual use.
|
||
|
||
In addition to the product edition changes, we are moving away from per
|
||
stack pricing. We heard clear feedback from customers that per stack
|
||
pricing made it difficult to plan and budget for future growth, and that
|
||
it unintentionally penalized certain architectural decisions. The new
|
||
per user model should be more affordable and predictable.
|
||
|
||
Here is a summary of the resulting options. For full details, [view our pricing page](/pricing/).

All editions offer a 14-day free trial, no credit card
|
||
required. If you need a longer trial period, want to discuss potential proof of
|
||
concept projects, or are interested in advanced capabilities, such as
|
||
large numbers of seats, Training, or Support, please [contact
|
||
us](/contact).
|
||
|
||
We remain committed to fostering a vibrant open source community while
|
||
also delivering a robust production service that teams of all sizes are
|
||
choosing for their cloud needs. From startups, to medium sized
|
||
organizations, to the largest Fortune 500 customers, we truly believe
|
||
that these new editions now offer a great option for everyone.
|
||
|
||
We hope you agree and look forward to seeing the great things your team
|
||
builds with Pulumi!

## FAQ
|
||
|
||
Here are some common frequently asked questions about the pricing
|
||
structure:
|
||
|
||
### How do I get started?
|
||
|
||
To get started, simply sign up for free using your identity provider of
|
||
choice (ideally the same one your organization will be backed by). From
|
||
there, create an organization that your team members will use. To use
|
||
the free Community Edition, just [download the CLI](/docs/get-started/) and
|
||
sign into the free tier of the service when it prompts you.
|
||
|
||
### What is an organization?
|
||
|
||
An organization is a shared workspace for your business to collaborate
|
||
across multiple projects at once. Organizations may be backed by your
|
||
existing source control system (GitHub, GitLab, Atlassian), identity
|
||
provider (any SAML/SSO provider, including Okta and Active Directory),
|
||
or managed manually. Organization owners and administrators can manage
|
||
access to the organization's projects with security and administrative
|
||
features.
|
||
|
||
The key distinction between Pulumi's free Community Edition and its paid
|
||
offerings — Team Starter, Team Pro, and Enterprise — is the presence
|
||
of an organization. The Community Edition is meant for individuals using
|
||
Pulumi for their private projects, but this tends not to work in a team
|
||
setting. Most teams want multiple engineers to have access to their
|
||
projects. This is precisely what organizations deliver to you. The
|
||
advanced tiers offer even more sophisticated organization management
|
||
facilities, including RBAC for advanced policy controls.
|
||
|
||
### Can I start small and upgrade later?
|
||
|
||
Yes! We designed the editions to make it easy to get started with Team
|
||
Starter, and once you've outgrown it, upgrading to Team Pro is a single
|
||
click away. To upgrade to Enterprise, please [contact
|
||
us](/contact).
|
||
|
||
### I'm an existing customer on a per stack plan -- what do I do?
|
||
|
||
We are in the process of reaching out to all existing customers to offer
|
||
a switch to one of the new plans. If you haven't heard from us yet,
|
||
please don't hesitate to [drop us a
|
||
line](/contact). If now isn't the right time to change
|
||
for your team, however, don't worry — we are happy to honor your
|
||
existing subscription terms.
|
||
|
||
### Do you offer custom pricing for large teams?
|
||
|
||
We are always happy to discuss the best way to ensure Pulumi can work
|
||
for your team. To talk with a leader at the company, please simply [fill
|
||
out the contact us form](/contact) and we'll be
|
||
in touch.
|
||
|
||
### What payment options do you accept?
|
||
|
||
All subscriptions can be paid with a credit card (we use Stripe for
|
||
processing). The Pulumi Service is meant to be easy to sign up for, so feel free
|
||
to simply begin your trial, and then you may enter your credit card on
|
||
your organization's Settings page.
|
||
|
||
For annual subscriptions, we also offer invoicing that is payable with
|
||
bank transfer or check. To discuss those options in more detail, please
|
||
[contact us](/contact/).
