Pricing

There are four ways you can pay for DaDesktop:

1. Public cloud (from 3 EUR a day)
2. Private server (from 10 EUR a day)
3. Reseller or volume purchasing (from 0.1 EUR a day)
4. On-premises
    

Public Cloud

Desktops are charged at 3 EUR per day for a basic Linux desktop with 8GB of RAM, 8 CPU cores, and 50GB of SSD storage.

Adding an extra 8GB of RAM, 8 CPU cores, and 50GB of storage will incur an additional 3 EUR.

Windows machines incur an additional 1 EUR per day. If you have your own licence, this charge does not apply.

NB: The daily charge is calculated within a 24-hour window beginning at midnight, local server time.

 

Private Server

If you prefer fixed costs irrespective of the number of desktops or resources allocated to each desktop, you can purchase an entire server.

In this scenario, you are only limited by the server's resources, not by the number of desktops or resource units.

This option is typically intended for companies that plan to:

1. Integrate the DaDesktop with your product
2. Resell it
3. Purchase in high volumes 
    

On-premises

The standard price for on-premises deployment is 6 EUR per core.
