Pricing

How Kinetic is priced

Kinetic offers two pricing models. The Unlimited model can be scoped to a specific department or program. The Consumption model is a base platform fee plus consumption, measured as the number of workflows executed. Pricing is banded, so the more workflows consumed, the lower the cost per workflow. There are no per-user fees.

Two pricing models

A production agreement uses one of these models. Community Edition stays free for non-production use. Help from our team is quoted separately, and it is never bundled into the model.

  1. Unlimited

    The Unlimited model can be scoped to a specific department or program. The agreement covers that scope.

  2. Consumption

    A base platform fee plus consumption, measured as the number of workflows executed. Pricing is banded, so the more workflows consumed, the lower the cost per workflow.

No per-user fees

You never pay per builder, approver, end user or API call. That is deliberate: the applications worth building are the ones everybody uses.

Builders
Add every analyst and developer who builds. Nobody counts seats.
End users
Open a portal to 9,000 staff or a whole county's residents. There is no seat count.
API calls
Connect as many systems as the process needs. Calls are not metered.

Three editions

Every edition is the same software. Community Edition is free for non-production use. Team and Enterprise are production editions, and each is quoted on the Unlimited model or the Consumption model. Hosting and support are what change between those two.

Free. Non-production use only.

Help from our team

Some customers want our engineers alongside them for the first application. Services are quoted separately and never required.

Built for you
A fixed-scope application, built by our team to your specification.
Statement of work
A scoped engagement for a larger program, with milestones.
Blocks of hours
Time you draw down as needed for design reviews, troubleshooting or a push before go-live.

Support add-ons

Standard support during business hours comes with Team and Enterprise. Two add-ons extend it.

Customer-managed support
For Kinetic installed in your own data center or cloud account: installation of Kinetic applications, help with upgrades and troubleshooting, and a quarterly health check of your environment. Required for customer-managed installations.
24x7 support

Pricing questions

Answered by Kinetic Data. Last updated .

  • How is Kinetic Data priced?

    Kinetic offers two pricing models. The Unlimited model can be scoped to a specific department or program. The Consumption model is a base platform fee plus consumption, measured as the number of workflows executed, and pricing is banded, so the more workflows consumed, the lower the cost per workflow.

  • What is the Unlimited model?

    The Unlimited model can be scoped to a specific department or program. The agreement covers that scope. Bring the department or program you have in mind to a working session (/book).

  • How does the Consumption model work?

    The Consumption model is a base platform fee plus consumption. Consumption is measured as the number of workflows executed. Pricing is banded, so the more workflows consumed, the lower the cost per workflow.

  • Does Kinetic publish list prices?

    No. Pricing depends on the model and the scope, so Kinetic does not publish list prices. Book a working session (/book) to map one process and get a recommendation for that scope.

  • What counts as a workflow?

    A workflow counts when it starts, whether a person submits a form or a system sends an event. A schedule can start one too. A new-hire request that kicks off onboarding is one workflow.

  • Is there a free trial?

    Not anymore. Developers can use Community Edition, which is free for non-production use. If you are evaluating Kinetic for your organization, the free two-hour working session is a better test: we map one of your real processes and you keep the written plan.

  • Do AI model costs come from Kinetic?

    No. Kinetic does not ship its own model. You bring Anthropic Claude, Amazon Bedrock, Azure OpenAI or a self-hosted model, and you pay that provider directly under your own agreement.

  • Can we run Kinetic in our own environment?

    Yes, on the Enterprise edition. Kinetic installs in your data center or cloud account, including air-gapped networks, and it is deployed in DoD IL5 environments today. Customer-managed installations need the customer-managed support add-on.
