Pricing behavior (not a price list)
These points describe when users typically pay more and what usage patterns trigger upgrades.
Actions that trigger upgrades
- API management must unify with enterprise integration governance
- You need full-lifecycle API management with integration bus capabilities
- Regulated industries require governance and compliance controls
- API monetization is a core program requirement
What gets expensive first
- Integration platform complexity requires dedicated platform ownership
- Java stack and deployment patterns may not fit cloud-native teams
- Governance outcomes depend on integration pattern discipline
- Full-lifecycle tooling requires ongoing content and process ownership
Plans and variants (structural only)
Grouped by type to show structure, not to rank or recommend SKUs.
Enterprise
- Open-source - Full platform - Best fit for integration-heavy enterprises (verify official pricing)
- Commercial support - Enterprise governance - Useful when you need support with open-source flexibility
Next step: constraints + what breaks first
Pricing tells you the cost cliffs; constraints tell you what forces a redesign.
