Pricing

Priced by the size of your estate - not by the number of packs you use

One subscription covers the whole catalogue. There is no per-pack shopping list to assemble, no counting which integrations you turned on, and no separate licence for the AI Extensions. What decides the price is how large the environment is - measured in physical CPU cores licensed under VCF or VVF.

Three sizes

Physical CPU cores licensed under VCF or VVF, read straight from VCF Operations. That is the whole model.

Small

Under 200 cores

Free

The infrastructure packs - servers, storage, LAN and SAN - at no cost. Small estates get the layers that matter most to them without a procurement cycle.

Mid

200 to 1 000 cores

Request a quote

The full catalogue, everything released during your subscription, the MCP servers for AI agents, and 24/7 support.

Large

Over 1 000 cores

Request a quote

Everything in Mid, plus 40 engineering hours a year for work on your environment - custom objects, dedicated rules, integrations that are not in the catalogue yet.

What it works out to

Pricing is per core, and the rate falls as the estate grows - around €40 per core for a typical mid-sized environment, closer to €25 at several thousand cores. Below 200 cores there is no charge at all.

These are indicative figures, not a formula. The exact number depends on your environment and on how we work together. Prices are per annual subscription; multi-year agreements carry an additional discount.

Getting an exact number

Ask for a quote

Tell us the core count and what you run. You get a firm number, not a range that changes once someone looks at your environment properly. It takes one conversation.

Build with us and it costs less

We offer additional discounts to organisations that develop it with us - joint work on an integration you need, early access in exchange for feedback, or agreeing to act as a reference customer. If your environment contains something we have not covered yet, that is a conversation worth having in both directions.

Annual, with a reason to commit longer

Subscriptions run for a year. Committing to multiple years carries an additional discount - and it also means the rate is fixed while your estate keeps changing.

Questions about pricing

How are cores counted?

Physical CPU cores, taken directly from VCF Operations - every physical core in your VMware environment that is licensed under VCF or VVF. Nothing else is counted, and you do not have to assemble the number yourself: it is already in the console.

What happens when we grow past a threshold?

Nothing happens mid-term. The bands are a starting point for the conversation, not a cliff you fall off - if your estate sits just above a threshold, the price reflects where you actually are rather than which side of a line you landed on. Buying or releasing VMware licences during the year does not change what you pay, because we are not counting in the background.

Is the free tier really free, or is it a trial?

It is not a trial. Under 200 cores the infrastructure packs are free to run in production, with no time limit. What you do not get is the full catalogue, the AI Extensions and 24/7 support - those start at Mid.

Do you sell through partners?

Yes. If you are interested in reselling Topthor, we have a partner model for exactly that - talk to sales and we will walk you through the terms.

Is it a subscription or a perpetual licence?

A subscription, renewed annually, running entirely on your own infrastructure. Multi-year commitments are available and carry an additional discount.

Thirty minutes on your environment gives you both things at once: which packs apply, and what it costs.
