On premise
Public Cloud
Desktops are billed daily, starting at 3 EUR per day for a basic Linux desktop equipped with 8GB RAM, 8 CPU cores, and 50GB SSD storage.
Each additional 8GB RAM, 8 CPU cores, and 50GB storage adds an extra 3 EUR to the daily rate.
Windows desktops carry an extra 1 EUR per day surcharge. If you provide your own license, this cost is waived.
NB The daily charge applies to any usage within 24 hours from midnight, local server time.
Private Server
For a fixed cost regardless of the number of desktops or resources assigned, you can purchase an entire server.
In this scenario, your only limitation is the server's total capacity, not the count of desktops or allocated units.

Courses
For Public Cloud and Reseller plans, course charges are billed to the Organization Owner based on the users who created desktops during the course timeframe.
Trainers
- If a trainer is invited to the course, billing falls to the Organization Owner.
- If the trainer creates the course, the trainer is charged.
-
In short, the organization that owns the course is the one billed.
