Okteto pricing

Okteto publishes 3 tiers. Below is each one, what it adds over the tier beneath it, and where the ladder stops being worth climbing for most people.

As of 31 August 2026, Okteto pricing is free across 3 published tiers. Figures are the vendor's list prices as recorded on this page's last check; the vendor's site is the final word.

Entry price: Free
Model: Quote
Tiers: 3
Free tier: Yes

Okteto 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.

Okteto pricing tiers
Plan	Price	Features listed	Step up from the tier below
Starter	Free	3	Entry tier
Scale	On request	3	Priced on request
Enterprise	On request	4	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.

Starter

Free

The entry tier. It covers 5 seats included, self-hosted deployment into your own cluster, community support.

Scale

Over Starter, this tier adds:

Contact sales, no price, currency or billing period published

What the product covers

The full Okteto 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.

People bring Okteto in for a microservices estate where no developer can run the full dependency graph on a laptop, giving each pull request a working environment reviewers can click rather than describe, letting coding agents build and test against real databases and queues instead of mocks, removing a fleet of local kubernetes installations that drift from production and produce false test results. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Okteto are worth a look before you commit to a tier.

How that compares in Developer Tools

Too few developer tools tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.

Okteto (this page)	Free	quote	-
Tilt	Free	Open source, no licence fee	-	vs Okteto

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 Okteto badges page.

Before you pay for Okteto

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 Free and On request, with the jump itemised above. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.

Okteto runs on linux, macos, windows, cli, kubernetes, web, and is published by Okteto Inc of United States. The full record is on the Okteto review, and the rest of the category is under best developer tools tools.
