How much does Puppet cost?

Puppet publishes 2 tiers, from Free for Open Source up to $100/month for Puppet Enterprise. The entry tier costs nothing.

Does Puppet have a free plan?

Yes. The Open Source tier costs nothing and covers puppet agent, community support, full dsl. Paying starts at $100/month for Puppet Enterprise.

What is the difference between Open Source and Puppet Enterprise on Puppet?

Puppet Enterprise costs $100/month against Free, and adds puppet server, console, rbac, 24/7 support.

What am I actually paying for with Puppet?

The record lists 21 features across 5 areas: core, integrations, security, deployment, platform. In practice it is brought in for declarative configuration management of servers at scale, enforcing infrastructure compliance policy continuously.

Does Puppet charge per user?

The record carries a price and a billing period for each of its 2 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 Puppet 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 Puppet against before paying?

Nothing else in this directory is filed close enough to Puppet to make a useful price comparison.

Puppet pricing

Puppet publishes 2 tiers. Below is each one, what it adds over the tier beneath it, and where the ladder stops being worth climbing for most people.

Entry price: Free
Model: Open-source
Tiers: 2
Free tier: Yes

Puppet 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.

Puppet pricing tiers
Plan	Price	Features listed	Step up from the tier below
Open Source	Free	4	Entry tier
Puppet Enterprise	$100/month	4	+$100/month, 4 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.

People bring Puppet in for declarative configuration management of servers at scale, enforcing infrastructure compliance policy continuously. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Puppet are worth a look before you commit to a tier.

Before you pay for Puppet

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: 2 tiers between Free and $100/month, 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.

Puppet runs on linux, windows, mac, api, and is published by Puppet of Portland, OR. The full record is on the Puppet review.
