How “greater of” pricing works

Each plan has a flat annual fee and a percentage rate. You pay whichever is greater — so costs scale with your cloud environment but never work against you.

PlanMonthlyAnnual% rateCrossover
FinOps$3,375$32,4001.5%$2.16M spend
Governance$4,125$39,6002.0%$1.98M spend
Full Stack$9,000$86,4003.0%$2.88M spend

Above the crossover point you pay the flat fee — so costs grow slower than your cloud environment. Save 20% with annual billing.

Pricing Questions

How does the hybrid pricing model work?

+
Each plan has a flat annual fee and a percentage-of-cloud-spend rate. You pay whichever is greater. For example, the FinOps plan is $40,500/year or 1.5% of cloud spend. If your cloud spend is $2M (1.5% = $30K), you pay the $40,500 flat. If your cloud spend is $5M (1.5% = $75K), you pay $75K. This means costs scale with your environment but never exceed the percentage cap.

What is the Federal Micro-Purchase tier?

+
At $14,400/year ($1,200/month), this tier sits below the $15,000 federal micro-purchase threshold (raised from $10K effective October 2025). Federal agencies can purchase with a Government Purchase Card — no competitive bidding, no formal RFQ, and procurement completes in days rather than months.

How does Full Stack compare to buying separate tools?

+
A typical mid-market stack of Wiz ($75K), Vanta ($30K), Datadog ($180K), and Cloudability ($54K) totals roughly $339K/year. PolicyCortex Full Stack at $108K delivers equivalent capabilities for 68% less. Even at the cheapest alternatives in each category, the stacked cost ($225K) is still 2.1x PolicyCortex.

Can I add ATO/CMMC or AI Observability to any plan?

+
Yes. Both are add-ons that layer onto any base plan. ATO & CMMC ($25K/yr) adds federal authorization support, and AI Observability ($20K/yr) adds shadow AI detection, guardrails, and AI governance compliance. They can be purchased individually or together.

Is there a free trial or evaluation?

+
We offer guided evaluations where you can connect your cloud accounts and see PolicyCortex in action against your actual environment. Contact us to schedule an evaluation.

Can I upgrade between plans?

+
Yes. You can move between plans as your requirements evolve — for example, starting with FinOps and adding Governance later, or upgrading to Full Stack. Our team handles migrations with zero downtime.
