Plan recommender
Model the plan before checkout.
Estimate the right tier from monthly cloud spend, active cloud connections, and the operational controls your team needs. Each Azure subscription, AWS account, or GCP project counts as one active connection.
Recommended tier
Growth
€499/moBased on €25,000 monthly cloud spend and 2 active cloud connections, 1 provider family, recurring scans.
Packaging note
Additional cloud accounts should be sold as connection packs, not as user seats. Use €99/mo for +5 Growth connections. Enterprise is the right home for SSO, custom AI limits, and procurement-heavy workflows.

04 · BUYER READINESS
What the plan includes, and what still depends on provider readiness.
The active pricing model is flat and entitlement-led. Provider coverage remains explicit so teams do not mistake a provider-family quota for equal production readiness across Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud.
01
Azure production path
Azure is the supported production path for read-only audits, cost sync, detector evidence, reports, and net-rate savings math.
02
AWS and GCP readiness gate
AWS and Google Cloud count toward provider-family limits only when configured and approved. Evidence quality depends on billing and metric setup.
03
Evidence and exports
Evidence Ledger state is part of the finding workflow. Paid tiers unlock full finding visibility, exports, scheduling, and reporting by plan.
05 · SECURITY & BILLING COMPLIANCE
Secure operations. Plain terms.
Payments through Stripe, cloud access read-only, credentials deleted when you remove a connection. The terms below are the whole story.
Stripe secure card processing
Subscriptions, upgrades, and billing cycles run through Stripe. Costframe does not handle or store card details or bank logins. Invoices arrive each billing cycle.
Read-only architecture
Costframe connects with least-privilege read roles. No write privileges exist in the codebase, on any plan, at any price.
Billing managed through Stripe
Update or cancel your subscription from account settings at any time. Deleting a cloud connection removes its credentials from our storage.
06 · DETAILED FAQs
Frequently asked billing questions
Is there an evaluation path before a paid subscription?
Costframe can support an evaluation workspace during onboarding, but the public paid packaging is Starter, Growth, and Enterprise. Any evaluation scope should be confirmed in-product or in writing rather than inferred from the pricing table.
How are subscription limits enforced?
A connection is one active cloud account, Azure subscription, or GCP project linked to Costframe. Starter includes up to 2 active connections. Growth includes up to 5. If you need more than that, move to Enterprise or agree an add-on connection pack.
What if we have several Azure tenants, AWS accounts, or GCP projects?
Do not force everything into one provider slot. Each active account, subscription, or project should count toward the connection quota because it creates separate scanning, identity, audit, and support load. Add-on packs are the clean upgrade path for teams that need a few more environments without a full Enterprise agreement.
How should connection add-on packs be billed?
For Growth, the documented add-on is a +5 active connection pack at €99 per month, excluding VAT. Enterprise connection limits and add-on terms should be documented in the order form or MSA.
Why choose Enterprise instead of Growth connection packs?
Enterprise is the right fit when the work needs custom connection limits, multi-tenant expansion, enterprise SSO or paid identity-provider features, deeper AI usage limits, procurement review, or bespoke webhook and ticketing workflows.
Do you take any percentage commission on our savings?
No. Starter and Growth are flat monthly subscriptions, and Enterprise is contract-managed. Costframe does not take a percentage of your savings.
Is write access required?
No. Costframe uses least-privilege read scopes only. Provider clients are built for read operations; remediation is review-first and remains under your team's control.
Which providers are production-ready?
Azure is the production-ready provider path. AWS and Google Cloud are readiness-gated and depend on verified account or project access, billing-export configuration, and available metrics. Pricing includes provider-family limits, but it does not imply every provider has the same evidence depth.
How does the Evidence Ledger affect pricing?
The Evidence Ledger is part of the product workflow, not a paid add-on. Paid tiers unlock more findings, reporting, exports, scheduling, and advisory workflows, but evidence state remains visible wherever a finding is shown.
Can we export our data if we cancel?
Paid tiers include CSV and PDF exports according to the plan table. Before cancelling, export the reports and technical data you need. Removing a cloud connection deletes its stored credential, and retention terms should be confirmed in the applicable agreement.
Is Costframe SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certified?
Costframe is designed around controls mapped to SOC 2 and ISO 27001 domains, including tenant isolation, read-only cloud access, audit logging, secret redaction, and least-privilege access patterns. Formal certification status and audit reports should be confirmed during procurement.
Are support targets included?
Enterprise customers can agree support targets and operational response terms in their order form or MSA. Public uptime metrics and contractual response terms should only be shown once formal monitoring and legal terms are in place.
Are there user seat or team licensing limits?
Costframe is packaged around cloud connections and provider families rather than per-seat pricing. Workspace membership should remain within the customer team and any Enterprise terms in force.
Can we execute custom Master Services Agreements (MSAs)?
Enterprise customers can agree custom MSAs, commercial terms, security questionnaires, and procurement review requirements through the normal contract process.
How is billing managed?
Payments, invoicing, and plan changes run through Stripe for self-serve subscriptions. Starter and Growth are monthly subscriptions; Enterprise billing follows the signed order form. Costframe never sees your card details.
How does Costframe maintain data isolation?
Application requests are scoped to the verified Clerk organization ID, and database tables are reviewed for tenant-scoped access and deny-by-default RLS policies where exposed outside trusted server paths. Platform-admin access is allowlisted and read-only.
Can't I just use ChatGPT, Gemini, or Copilot to find these savings?
You can get a rough one-off estimate that way, but not a number finance will sign off on. A general AI assistant prices against public provider list rates rather than your negotiated net rate, has no verified utilization data behind its claims, and would need ongoing access to your production tenant to stay current. Costframe attaches available resource context, evidence state, and pricing assumptions to findings, prices at your net rate where configured, and keeps realized-savings review tied to provider cost data.
