Financing for AWS Marketplace purchases
AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
Pricing
Pricing is based on the duration and terms of your contract with the vendor, and additional usage. You pay upfront or in installments according to your contract terms with the vendor. This entitles you to a specified quantity of use for the contract duration. Usage-based pricing is in effect for overages or additional usage not covered in the contract. These charges are applied on top of the contract price. If you choose not to renew or replace your contract before the contract end date, access to your entitlements will expire.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
Dimension | Cost/month | Cost savings % |
|---|---|---|
Enterprise POC | $15,000.00 | 90% |
Dimension | Cost/unit |
|---|---|
BYOC Compute Usage | $0.01 |
Dimensions summary
This contract listing has two pricing dimensions. BYOC Compute Usage bills for the compute your workloads consume when Northflank runs on infrastructure you own. Northflank deploys and manages Kubernetes clusters inside your own cloud account, so your cloud costs stay separate in your provider's billing. Enterprise POC covers a proof-of-concept engagement, letting you evaluate the platform before scaling. The two dimensions serve different stages: the POC unit supports initial trials, while BYOC Compute Usage supports ongoing production workloads. You commit under a contract term and select quantities for each dimension.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
It meters the compute your workloads consume when Northflank runs Kubernetes clusters inside your own cloud account. Compute is measured by vCPU and memory used, billed down to the second. Your own cloud provider bills you separately for the underlying infrastructure in your billing console.
Compute is billed by actual usage, prorated to the second. When workloads scale down or stop consuming vCPU and memory, those charges stop accruing. Autoscaling can reduce consumption automatically based on usage thresholds, so idle capacity does not keep running at cost.
They bill independently for different stages. Enterprise POC covers a proof-of-concept engagement to evaluate the platform before scaling. BYOC Compute Usage covers ongoing production compute consumption. You select quantities for each under your contract, and each appears as its own line item.

Great experience from start to present

What do you like best about the product?
The team are extremely helpful, from the moment we considered moving to Northflank, Will & Frederik jumped on a call with us, walked us through the onboarding process and even helped us to migrate sites from Heroku. From there the tools they have available meant it was seamless & time friendly to migrate all our applications to them. Anytime we need help or have an issue they take no hesitation in responding almost immediately. I'd 10/10 recommend them to anyone considering migrating or setting up with the team.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only downside I can think of is that in the initial phases the dashboard can be slightly difficult to find what you need, this is always the case though when getting setup with a new application.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The reason we moved to Northflank is that it is more cost effective than Heroku, this and the fact it simplifies deploying and managing applications makes it a no-brainer.

What do you like best about the product?
The platform "just works", build your services and deploy them with ease. Runs on our own cloud using GKE, which allows us to save on costs.
The support from the team is phenomenal, with them being proactive in reaching out to us when things aren't working well in our cluster, which is rare.
I would recommend this platform to anyone wishing to set up a quick and easy modern cloud cluster.

I would recommend this platform to anyone wishing to set up a quick and easy modern cloud cluster.
What do you dislike about the product?
While the Northflank platform abstracts away all implementation details of a Kubernetes cluster, when wishing to dive deeper into the cluster status or, for example, investigating why services are not able to start when the cluster is out of capacity, one still needs to use native kubernetes tools such as kubectl
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We wish to write code, and run it in the cloud. Northflank abstracts away anything in between these two points.

What do you like best about the product?
Everything in one place, and logical to navigate. We can bring our own AWS account and manage all the things in one interface.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lots of options, but everything is arranged sensibly and is super flexible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Northflank has replaced Heroku, DigitalOcean and Render for us -- more reliable, easier to use and has simplified our deployment workflows.

What do you like best about the product?
Northflank let's me not think about my app deployment most of the time. It let's me have my app split into whatever services I want and organises them all in a way that makes sense. Scaling up and down is super simple and quick.
Easy to set up, I chose to use Dockerfiles to describe my services and once they're working locally they work on Northflank as well.
Basically it's like Heroku used to be (except a little better) before Heroku got rubish and unreliable.
Support has always been fast and incredibly helpful. There's no fighting your way past level 1 support, you get people who know what they're talking about right away.

What do you dislike about the product?
Builds are a bit slow, they don't support local docker caching. I know that's something they're planning on fixing soon though.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I want to host my SaaS applications as a solo founder without having to spend time thinking about and managing my hosting. Less time on hosting problems means more time developing features, helping customers and selling my products.

What do you like best about the product?
You can easily deploy your app using their buildpack or coming from an external container registry. I also like their feature to bring your own cloud which you can connect your AWS and Google cloud and just pay a fix monthly.
What do you dislike about the product?
They have limited regions to deploy your service. You need to email to enable other regions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
You can quickly deploy your app with an autoscaling feature.
