Transparent Licensing & Pricing Information
The folks here at QuerySurge have a reputation for doing things differently than the status quo.
Therefore, unlike traditional enterprise software vendors (or any of our competitors), we try to make everything as transparent as possible. And that is why we post our pricing – so there are no surprises.
Click on the categories below to expand or hide the information. Our account executives can provide guidance if needed.
Below are the choices that shape your license: how you pay for it, what license type you need, where it runs, and what access level each user gets. Pick one from each; they, along with the package size below, determine your final price.
- Licensing Models: Perpetual vs. Subscription
- License Types: Named User vs. Floating User
- QuerySurge Installation Choice: On-Premises vs. Private Cloud vs. Public Cloud
- User Access: Admin User, Full User and Participant User descriptions
Subscription – Use QuerySurge for a 12-month term with options to renew. Support, bug fixes & upgrades are included.
Perpetual – Own QuerySurge. Annual maintenance plan includes support, bug fixes & upgrades.
What's best for me?
The Subscription model is designed for companies that plan to use QuerySurge for a shorter time (1 to 3 years) or plan to use their OPEX (operational expenditure) budget.
Perpetual ownership is more cost-effective for teams or projects that will require long-term, continuous usage (3+ years) or plan to use their CAPEX (capital expenditure) budget.
Named User licenses
The Named User license type allows a limited number of users to be entered into QuerySurge, based on the amount listed on the license. Named User licenses allow for access to the license for each specific, named user.
Benefits: Full usage of QuerySurge and less expensive per user than floating users
Drawback: Each user license is assigned to a specific name, limiting usage and traceability
Floating User licenses
The Floating User license type allows unlimited users to be entered into QuerySurge, with the concurrent usage limited to the number of floating seats purchased.
Benefits: The flexibility to provide access to many more users, especially if your team is geographically distributed. Each user has their own unique ID and password and there is traceability of every user for productivity and usage.
Drawback: More expensive than Named Users.
On-premises – You install QuerySurge on your bare metal servers or VMs behind your firewall
In-Your-Private-Cloud – QuerySurge can be installed in your company's private cloud, whether it's Azure, AWS, GCP, Oracle, IBM, or any other cloud your company deploys.
Pay-As-You-Go in the Azure or AWS Cloud – QuerySurge is available as a pay-as-you-go, bundled offering in the Microsoft Azure cloud and in the AWS Cloud.
The choice is entirely up to you. Our team can assist you whichever way you choose to go.
Admin User. A Full User who also has access to QuerySurge's Administrative View: User Management, Agent Management, Connection Management, Database Management, and License Management. Any Full User can be granted Admin access at no additional cost.
Full User. Unlimited access to create, schedule & run tests, view results, run & export reports, send & receive email notifications, export data.
Participant User. Cannot create or run tests, but can view all other information including viewing all query pairs, results, reports, receiving email notifications, exporting test results and reports.
