DVARA pricing
DVARA Open Source is free under Apache 2.0. Enterprise plans add production rights and support, with one call pool across model, tool, and agent-to-agent traffic.
Run the lean Open Source distribution, or use the Enterprise platform for production governance and fleet operations.
A file-configured DVARA LLM Gateway for development and production, licensed under Apache 2.0.
Govern model, tool, and agent-to-agent calls across teams, environments, and gateways.
Launch and Scale include the same complete platform. Included call volume, support, and who operates the deployment determine the price.
Run governed AI workloads in your own infrastructure.
Scale governed AI traffic with more included volume.
Run the Enterprise platform on a dedicated cluster operated by DVARA.
Run the full Enterprise platform in production for 60 days, set up with you.
Need more volume, regions, private connectivity, or support? Request a written quote. The capability guide explains what each one includes and when an Enterprise licence applies.
Choose Open Source for one file-configured LLM enforcement point. Choose Launch or Scale for self-hosted Enterprise governance, or Managed Dedicated when you want DVARA to operate it.

Yes. DVARA Open Source is Apache-2.0 and free. It is the lean distribution: no Fleet, no MCP, no A2A, and no managed deployment operations.
For Enterprise, a licence adds production rights and support and removes the limits of an install without one: 3 workspaces and 100,000 governed calls a month. Every feature, including Flightdeck and the MCP and A2A planes, runs in Development without a licence.
Launch is $750/month (annual), Scale is $1,500/month (annual). Launch includes 2M calls/mo; Scale includes 5M. Higher volumes are sold through sales.
One LLM request, MCP tool call, or A2A task/message is one governed call. An MCP tool call a policy denies, and any call refused by a licence limit, is not counted. All three paths share one call pool. Stream chunks, retries, failovers, health checks, admin APIs, and Flightdeck do not add extra calls.
Your installation counts every governed call in its own database and never sends usage data to DVARA. Flightdeck's monthly usage report gives the month's governed-call total, which your agreement's included volume and any overage are measured against.
None of those. Pricing is by governed calls. One licence covers an installation: Flightdeck and every Gateway pod, with unlimited users, providers, gateways, and environments. There are no per-node, per-pod, or per-workspace keys.
Talk to sales and we will quote it. Many organisations run one installation with a workspace per department, each with its own policies, budgets, and chargeback, under one licence and one call pool.
Traffic continues. Overage is billed at Launch $200/M and Scale $150/M; Managed hosting overage is set in its agreement. There are no per-seat, per-model, or per-provider fees.
Yes. You can run the full Enterprise platform in Development without a key, including MCP and A2A, within 3 workspaces and 100,000 governed calls a month. Ask for a 30-day licence for production-like evaluation without those limits.
The pilot ends on day 60 and does not renew. DVARA keeps running under the free non-production terms. If you sign an annual Enterprise licence within 30 days, the full pilot fee is credited against your first year.
No. License validation is local. DVARA does not require a callback or mandatory telemetry, so air-gapped and strict residency environments are supported.
Self-hosted means you run DVARA in your environment. Managed Dedicated means DVARA runs an isolated cluster for you by region. Both are Enterprise, not shared SaaS.
Share the essentials. A real person reviews each request and sends a quote within one business day.

DVARA Open Source is Apache-2.0 licensed. Enterprise licensing covers production use and support, and removes the 3-workspace and 100,000-call limits of an unlicensed install.
