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.

Pulumi pricing

Pulumi publishes 4 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 30 August 2026, Pulumi pricing is free across 4 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: Subscription
Tiers: 4
Free tier: Yes

Pulumi 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.

Pulumi pricing tiers
Plan	Price	Features listed	Step up from the tier below
Individual	Free	4	Entry tier
Team	$40/month	5	+$40/month, 5 more features
Enterprise	$400/month	6	+$360/month, 6 more features
Business Critical	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.

How that compares in Cloud

Too few cloud 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.

Pulumi entry price against other Cloud tools
Tool	Entry price	Model	Rated	Head to head
Pulumi (this page)	Free	subscription	-
Rook	Free	Open source, no licence fee	-	vs Pulumi
OpenEBS	Free	Open source, no licence fee	-	vs Pulumi
Portworx	$0.33/node hour	Per node hour	-	vs Pulumi
Longhorn	Free	Open source, no licence fee	-	vs Pulumi
Qovery	On request	quote	-	vs Pulumi
Dokku	Free	Open source, no licence fee	-	vs Pulumi

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 Pulumi badges page.

Before you pay for Pulumi

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 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.

Pulumi runs on linux, windows, mac, api, and is published by Pulumi Corporation of Seattle, WA. The full record is on the Pulumi review, and the rest of the category is under best cloud tools.
