What the product covers
The full Kogito 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.
Other
- Build-time code generation
- Quarkus and Spring Boot support
- DMN decision services
- Drools rules engine
- Serverless workflow
- Kubernetes operator
People bring Kogito in for a quarkus microservice that must expose a dmn decision model as a rest endpoint with millisecond start-up, serverless deployment of business rules where a traditional bpm server would be far too heavy, a red hat shop that wants the upstream of red hat process automation with the option of a supported build later, replacing hand-coded conditional logic with dmn tables that business analysts can review and amend. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Kogito are worth a look before you commit to a tier.

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the Kogito badges page.
Before you pay for Kogito
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: a single tier at Free. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
Kogito runs on linux, docker, kubernetes, and is published by Apache Software Foundation (Apache KIE, incubating) of Wilmington, Delaware, United States. The full record is on the Kogito review, and the rest of the category is under best automation integration tools.
