Actual Usage Calculator

Introduction

Traditional software pricing requires you to estimate and forecast upcoming usage. But standardizing software delivery takes time and rarely follows a plan.

We believe vendors should wear the risk of software rollouts, not customers. This is our No Shelfware Guarantee™. Our pricing is designed so that you're always getting more value than you pay for, and Octopus wears the risk.

Note:This pricing model will be public in late 2026. Existing customers better off under their current pricing model will be able to stay on their current pricing model. This is for new customers where current website pricing is more advantageous. The Year 1 offer below is for new customers only as usage patterns will not have been established (for clarity, existing customers do not reset to Year 1 pricing when this model launches).

Year 1

Our first year price is $4000, no matter how ambitious your rollout plans are in that first year.

Full product functionality, including features currently shown as 'Enterprise'-only
8x5 support (9-5pm Monday to Friday)

Year 2+

Renewals for Year 2+ are based on Actual Usage during the previous 12 months.

We calculate your renewal for next year using the third-highest monthly maximum of what you actually used last year. You don't need to pay extra just to have capacity for seasonal spikes or migrations.

For example:

We don't charge a true-up or invoice you for any excess last year, we just use it to calculate a fair price for this coming year.

Renewal pricing is based on the number of projects and machines.
