Akana plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Professional | $2500/monthly | 3 | Entry tier |
| Enterprise | $5000/monthly | 3 | +$2500/monthly, 3 more features |
| Custom | On request | 3 | Priced on request |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

Enterprise
$5000/monthlyOver Professional, this tier adds:
- Advanced governance

What the product covers
The full Akana feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.
Core
- API Lifecycle Management
- API Security
- Governance Controls
Integrations
- OAuth
- SAML
- LDAP
- Active Directory
Platform
- Cloud support
- On-premise support
- Hybrid support
People bring Akana in for api lifecycle management across rest, soap and graphql, applying oauth, jwt and saml policies at the gateway, running the same platform on-premises, in kubernetes or across clouds, developer portal and api monetisation, monitoring api traffic and enforcing quotas. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Akana are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
Before you pay for Akana
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 3 tiers between $2500/monthly and On request, with the jump itemised above. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Akana against the tools that do have one before committing.
Akana runs on cloud, on-premise, hybrid, and is published by Perforce Software of Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. The full record is on the Akana review.
Akana pricing questions
- How much does Akana cost?
- Akana publishes 3 tiers, from $2500/monthly for Professional up to On request for Custom. The cheapest paid tier is $2500/monthly.
- Does Akana have a free plan?
- Not on the record we hold: Akana is listed as subscription. Whether a free trial is offered is not something this record captures, so check the vendor's site.
- What is the difference between Professional and Enterprise on Akana?
- Enterprise costs $5000/monthly against $2500/monthly, and adds advanced governance, multi-cloud support, premium support.
- Is the Custom plan on Akana worth it?
- That depends entirely on whether you need what it adds, which on the published record is custom solutions, dedicated support, sla guarantee. It costs On request against $2500/monthly for Professional. Softwr has not used either tier, so this page can tell you what changes, not whether it is worth the difference to you.
- What am I actually paying for with Akana?
- The record lists 10 features across 3 areas: core, integrations, platform. In practice it is brought in for api lifecycle management across rest, soap and graphql, applying oauth, jwt and saml policies at the gateway, running the same platform on-premises, in kubernetes or across clouds.
- Does Akana charge per user?
- The record carries a price and a billing period for each of its 3 tiers, but not the unit that price is charged in. Per-seat and flat-rate billing look identical in this data, so check the vendor's page before budgeting for a team.
- Are these Akana prices current?
- They are what the catalogue entry holds, refreshed when the entry is. Vendors change pricing without notice and nobody at Softwr re-verifies each tier by hand, so treat this as a structured summary and the vendor's own pricing page as the authority.
- What should I compare Akana against before paying?
- Nothing else in this directory is filed close enough to Akana to make a useful price comparison.
