It's not as expensive as some competitors like Prisma Cloud, but it's not the cheapest either. A subscription model based on AWS usage would be an interesting option to explore.

The price is a bit expensive for smaller organizations. It can be expensive for smaller organizations, but if you are managing your infrastructure in the cloud, it's definitely worth trying. We have certain subscriptions and licenses for around a thousand instances deployed across the cloud. We purchased the subscriptions for the necessary devices we are running. It has cost us a lot.
The licensing is per-VM, but it really depends on the type of the environment. They offer large discounts if they see a customer as a potential strategic partner. Orca is very competitive when compared to the alternatives and is not the most expensive in the market, that's for sure.

The cost of Orca is similar to that of Rapid7. Overall, the pricing is reasonable and the discounts have been acceptable. We've had no issues with the licensing model, including when we've needed to use burst licensing. It's been good.

When we purchased Orca, it came with everything we needed. We didn't need to buy any additional features, extensions, etc. You pay one price, and you have access to everything. I think their pricing model is aligned with market demand. Of course, Orca could probably better align their pricing model with the needs of smaller businesses as well as some larger-scale enterprises with millions of assets. But in all fairness, I think the Orca sales team has been accommodating and ensured that we're happy with the pricing.

The pricing depends on how many assets you have running in your cloud and how many environments you have. If you have a dev environment, test environment, and a production environment then it's really important that you have coverage for all of them. But, you can start gradually because you can analyze one environment at a time. For example, you can begin with the production environment and fix all of the vulnerabilities there first. Then, add the test or acceptance environments, and then add your dev environments. You really need to learn how Orca helps to improve your attack surface, and you don't want to start with everything at once. Instead, you want to start small and progress gradually, otherwise it will be a lot of work. Pricing also depends on how you use your cloud provider. If you are working very cloud-native then it is much cheaper than a situation where you have a lot of virtual machines configured and running.

With Orca, there are no costs in addition to their standard licensing fees. There are no networking costs or extra bills for compute.
