Frequently asked questions

How is Axual priced?

Axual is priced per deployment rather than from a public price list. The quote depends on which of the three plans applies: Axual Cloud, self-managed deployment on-premises or in your own cloud, or Strimzi support. Scale and support level also affect pricing. Axual provides a quote based on your existing Kafka environment.

What plans does Axual offer?

Axual offers three plans. Axual Cloud is a fully managed streaming and governance platform hosted in Axual’s cloud. The self-managed plan deploys the full Axual platform on-premises or in your own cloud. Strimzi support provides incident response, operational support and managed services for an existing Strimzi environment.

What does "managed services" actually cover day to day?

Proactive monitoring and maintenance of your platform during business hours, plus tiered support — first line during business hours, second line around the clock, with 24/7 standby for incidents. SLAs for performance and availability are tailored to your architecture and requirements.

What happens if we need help outside business hours?

For managed services customers, 24/7 standby covers incident management and other production-critical issues, even though day-to-day maintenance happens during business hours.

What do we need to know before choosing a plan

Three things: where the platform has to run, who operates it, and what you already have in place. If the data must stay inside your perimeter, deploy on-premises or in your own cloud. If you want to hand over operations, use Axual Cloud. If Strimzi is already running in production, keep it and add Axual support or governance.

Does Axual pricing increase with every team or cluster added?

Axual separates teams and projects logically on shared Kafka infrastructure, with resource quotas so one team’s workload does not affect another. Adding teams does not require adding clusters. This differs from models that price per cluster, where organisational boundaries and infrastructure cost grow together.

Does Axual offer a free trial?

Axual does not sell a self-service subscription, so there is no paid trial to sign up for. Developers can run a complete Axual platform locally with Docker Compose at no cost, testing governance, security, schemas, connectors and self-service before any commercial conversation. Production evaluations are arranged with Axual directly.
