Orchestration incumbents floor near $400 a month. Provia starts at $29.99 for more, because the optimizer helps the platform pay for itself. The curve up is smooth: your bill tracks what you actually run, and every unit of growth costs what it should.
One application - one server - keep it running.
One production orchestration, the full stack, one region.
Multiple environments and regions, one smooth curve up.
Unlimited orchestrations, your terms, your accounts if you want.
Every tier is priced per RUNNING ENVIRONMENT with generous bundling. Never per component, never per template, never a per-account tax on growth.
| Mode | Whose cloud account | What you pay | Why it works |
|---|---|---|---|
| Provia-hosted | Provia's pooled accounts | A cloud rate below your on-demand DIY price, plus the platform fee | Provia hedges with pooled commitments. You save on unit price and the optimizer shrinks the footprint on top. |
| Bring your own cloud | Yours, always | Platform fee plus a share of verified savings | The optimizer's actions land in a signed ledger. The savings share is computed from provable deltas, auditable to the dollar. |
Platform fee plus committed baseline. Exact and hedged. The floor you always pay.
Base plus expected burst, shown as a band from typical to high. A forecast; the cap below is the guarantee.
Set it anywhere above Base. "Protect my budget" holds the line; "protect my service" keeps serving and warns you.
One running workspace of one product: its nodes, backing services, endpoints, and policies. A staging copy is its own environment. Components inside an environment are never billed separately, whether you run two or ten.
Your choice, in plain words. "Protect my budget" holds burst at the cap and your service may slow at peaks, one tap lifts it. "Protect my service" keeps serving past the cap and alerts you. As spend approaches the cap the optimizer automatically gets more aggressive first.
Two places. On hosted, Provia buys pooled committed capacity below list and charges you below your DIY on-demand price. Everywhere, the optimizer shrinks the footprint itself: rightsizing, scale-to-zero, spot for interruptible work, and commitment blending. Every action is recorded in a signed ledger.
No. Every resource carries a safety class, and the optimizer's action space is filtered by class before any planning happens. A primary database is rightsize-only, and its teardown path is structurally unreachable.
AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, Oracle and Digital Ocean. A product can live on one cloud or split features across them, and moving later is a managed migration with rollback at every stage.
Fleet routing between your own nodes is part of the platform. The global edge tier (anycast ingress, geo and residency routing, L4 protocol support) is an add-on priced separately on Growth and Enterprise.
That is why the floor is $29.99 and stays there: Provia earns by making your infrastructure cheaper than you could run it alone, and the subscription just opens the door.
