Fixed-Cost Pricing
Plan around your package. Keep control as your workload grows.
KubeMQ licensing is tiered by package size, not message volume. Pricing is provided by quote. We’ll review protocols, capacity, retention, availability and support requirements to define the scope for your applications.
Large scale
Enterprise
A tailored plan for enterprise requirements.
- Professional plan features
- High-scale clusters and customization
- Advanced enterprise capabilities
- High-volume edge devices
- Professional services

Understand the workload
Start with your protocols, message volume, payload sizes, retention needs and expected growth.
Define the deployment
Review environments, capacity, availability and infrastructure requirements with your team.
Agree the commercial scope
Discuss the package, support and services you need, then review a proposal for your deployment.
Fixed licensing covers the agreed package. Infrastructure, operations and any changes in scope belong in your overall cost plan.
Cost Comparison
Compare the whole cost of running messaging.
Bring your current messaging spend. Compare the same workload, capacity and reliability requirements across both environments.
| Cost area | Your current platform | With KubeMQ |
|---|---|---|
| Software or service | Subscription, usage charges and contracted commitments | The quoted fixed-cost license for your package |
| Infrastructure | Compute, storage and networking, whether bundled or separate | Compute, storage and networking for your deployment |
| Operations & support | Team effort, support and day-to-day administration | Self-management effort and agreed support or services |
| Transition | Existing commitments and any exit costs | Validation, migration and any parallel-running period |
Use a common time period and include both recurring and one-time costs. The result is a comparison built around your organization.
Calculate savings from your own costs.
The homepage chart is an illustrative annual scenario: $1,000,000 for the current platform and $200,000 for KubeMQ. Its 80% difference is arithmetic, not a benchmark or a customer result. The savings claim is directed at high-volume Kafka customers spending more than $1 million annually; actual savings vary.
- Use the same workload, retention, availability, support scope and currency for both options.
- Add annual software or service charges, infrastructure, operations and support. Avoid counting bundled costs twice.
- Calculate recurring savings as (current annual cost − proposed annual cost) ÷ current annual cost × 100. A negative result means the proposed option costs more.
- Add migration work, overlapping contracts and parallel operation to the proposed first-year cost. Calculate first-year savings separately.
- Use measured capacity and a written package quote. Repeat the calculation for expected growth and higher operating effort.
A $1,000,000 baseline and $200,000 proposed recurring cost give an illustrative $800,000 annual difference. If transition costs were $150,000, the first-year proposed cost would be $350,000 and first-year savings would be 65%. These are example inputs, not KubeMQ price quotes.
Record each assumption and its source. Leave unknown costs unresolved until validated; a blank input is not evidence of zero cost.
Common questions
Is licensing charged per message?
KubeMQ’s fixed-cost licensing is tiered by package size, not message volume. The package should be matched to your capacity and deployment requirements.
How do I get a price?
Talk to KubeMQ about your workload and environment. We’ll help define the scope and provide pricing for your requirements.
Does the license include my infrastructure?
KubeMQ is self-managed. Include the cost of your own infrastructure and operating it when comparing total costs.
What happens when our requirements grow?
Review the capacity and scope of your package with KubeMQ. Changes in deployment requirements may call for a different package.
Can we evaluate KubeMQ first?
Yes. Start a free 30-day trial with your work email: confirm your address, receive a license key by email and run KubeMQ on your own infrastructure. For a production evaluation, talk with us about your requirements and success criteria.
