The pricing depends on where the customers are. The system is cheaper if a customer has fewer servers since you pay by the node. Let's say I'm an enterprise with 50,000 servers. I would be paying a lot every year.

The product costs us approximately $200 per month on AWS. The on-premises version cost us $100 per month. The solution is reasonably priced.

I rate the pricing an eight out of ten because the solution is expensive. The license is expensive to acquire.

There are no extra costs aside from the licensing cost. 

I'm not aware of the billing part, but I think it was an all-in cost, with no additional costs apart from the standard licensing fees.

Buy all that you need at once for the biggest discount, they are very flexible with your situation and can accommodate any licensing scenario you need.

CloudBolt is license per server/container managed. Forecast your growth and purchase as much as you can upfront.

We made the conscious decision to form a small team exclusively focused on platform automation. The majority of their time in CloudBolt is using it as a service, modifying blueprints in response to user requests, and not very much debugging problems with CloudBolt itself. Puppet manifest writing for new feature requests and administration/refactoring of other infrastructure components that make the system work as a whole (Infoblox, Consul, Jenkins, Nexus, etc) take up the majority of the team's time.
