One price per fDeploy Server instance. Add as many deployment targets and users as you like — the number on your invoice does not move.
Built on open source. We will always ship a free community edition — the complete product, not a crippled one.
A perpetual licence keeps working forever. You own the version you bought. If we stopped trading tomorrow your installation would carry on deploying exactly as it does today — fDeploy is self-hosted, there is no licence server to call home to and no kill switch. Maintenance is optional and only covers new versions.

Enterprise
Multiple fDeploy Server instances, a contractual SLA, and source code escrow.
Prices exclude VAT. EU business customers outside Sweden are invoiced under the reverse charge procedure. Payment by invoice and bank transfer.
Per-target pricing means every server you add costs you again, every year. fDeploy charges per fDeploy Server instance, so adding targets costs nothing. The gap does not close as you grow — it widens.
Octopus Cloud
fDeploy
At 30 targets you keep $700 a year.
| Deployment targets | Octopus Cloud | fDeploy Professional | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | $600 | $2,900 | $-2,300 |
| 10 | $1,200 | $2,900 | $-1,700 |
| 25 | $3,000 | $2,900 | +$100 |
| 50 | $6,000 | $2,900 | +$3,100 |
| 100 | $12,000 | $2,900 | +$9,100 |
| 250 | $30,000 | $2,900 | +$27,100 |
Below about 25 deployment targets, Octopus Cloud is cheaper. We are not going to pretend otherwise. If you are deploying to a handful of machines, start on the free Community edition — it has unlimited targets — and move to Professional when the project count or the support matters. Flat pricing wins when you scale, not when you start.
Octopus Cloud figures use their published list price of $10 per deployment target per month. Octopus offers volume discounts at higher target counts, so actual Octopus Cloud pricing above roughly 50 targets will be lower than the list figures shown here. Octopus does not publish pricing for self-hosted Octopus Server, so we make no claim about it. fDeploy Professional is $2,900 per year per fDeploy Server instance regardless of target count.
fDeploy Professional is $2,900 / €2,700 per year, per fDeploy Server instance. That covers unlimited projects, unlimited deployment targets and unlimited users. There are no add-ons and nothing else to buy.
Yes, and there always will be. fDeploy Community is the complete product — unlimited projects, unlimited deployment targets, unlimited users — free forever for organisations with annual revenue under $1M / €900k. It is a direct download: no account, no email address, no licence request, no sales call.
Yes. Community is free for commercial use in production, deploying your company's real software to real servers, provided your organisation's annual revenue is under $1M / €900k. It is not restricted to hobby projects, evaluation, or internal tools, and there is no clause that says you may only use it non-commercially. If you are under the threshold, use it to run your business.
Any organisation whose annual revenue, counted together with any affiliates, is under $1M / €900k — commercial companies included. Separately, personal use, education, non-production and evaluation use, and non-commercial open-source work are free regardless of size. Nothing is feature-limited: Community is the same build as Professional, and the difference is support and eligibility, not capability.
We don't. The software does not measure your revenue, phone home, or restrict anything, and there is no audit clause. The limit lives in the Product Terms and we rely on you to be straight with us. If you cross the threshold, buy a licence — that is the whole mechanism.
No. Every tier, including the free one, includes unlimited deployment targets. You are licensed per fDeploy Server instance. Roll fDeploy Agent out to five machines or five hundred — the number on your invoice does not move.
Octopus Cloud lists at $10 per deployment target per month, so the bill scales with the number of machines you deploy to. Volume discounts apply at higher target counts, so real Octopus pricing at large scale is lower than list. fDeploy is $2,900 per year flat. Octopus does not publish pricing for self-hosted Octopus Server, so we make no claims about it.
Yes. A perpetual licence for one fDeploy Server instance is $7,250 / €6,750 and never expires. Annual maintenance, which covers new versions, is optional at $1,450 / €1,350 per year. If you stop paying maintenance the version you own carries on working — there is no licence server to call home to and no kill switch.
A perpetual licence keeps working. fDeploy is self-hosted with no cloud dependency and no licence check against our servers, so your installation is unaffected by anything that happens to us. Enterprise agreements can additionally include source code escrow.
Yes. We invoice in USD or EUR and accept bank transfer. EU business customers outside Sweden are invoiced under the reverse charge procedure with no VAT applied, provided you supply a valid VAT identification number. Swedish customers are invoiced with Swedish VAT.
Accredited academic institutions and registered non-profit organisations, at $1,450 / €1,350 per year — half the Professional price, with identical entitlements and async email support instead of 8/5. We verify by institutional email domain where we can, or by manual review on request.
Professional includes 8/5 support, Monday to Friday 09:00–17:00 CET. fDeploy runs as a single server instance and we do not offer clustered high availability. Multiple instances, a contractual SLA and source code escrow are available under an Enterprise agreement.
