Proxmox VE 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.

| Premium | €1100/year | 4 | +$550/year, 2 more features |
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.

Before you pay for Proxmox VE
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: 4 tiers between €120/year and €1100/year, with the jump itemised above. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Proxmox VE against the tools that do have one before committing.
Proxmox VE runs on linux, web, api, self-hosted. The full record is on the Proxmox VE review.
Proxmox VE pricing questions
- How much does Proxmox VE cost?
- Proxmox VE publishes 4 tiers, from €120/year for Community up to €1100/year for Premium. The cheapest paid tier is €120/year.
- Does Proxmox VE have a free plan?
- Not on the record we hold: Proxmox VE 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 Community and Basic on Proxmox VE?
- Basic costs €370/year against €120/year, and adds 3 support tickets per year, 1 business day response time, stable updates and enterprise repository.
- Is the Premium plan on Proxmox VE worth it?
- That depends entirely on whether you need what it adds, which on the published record is unlimited support tickets, 2-hour response time for critical issues. It costs €1100/year against €120/year for Community. 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 Proxmox VE?
- The record we hold does not itemise what each tier includes beyond the plan names and prices. The Proxmox VE review carries whatever feature detail is available.
- Does Proxmox VE charge per user?
- The record carries a price and a billing period for each of its 4 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 Proxmox VE 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 Proxmox VE against before paying?
- Nothing else in this directory is filed close enough to Proxmox VE to make a useful price comparison.
