Cozystack is free (Apache 2.0). Ænix sells a subscription around it. Hosting providers, MSPs and teams running Cozystack themselves buy from a published price list: support tiers per 10 physical nodes, from $1,250 per month. Ænix Private Cloud Platform, Ænix AI Platform and multi-region operator builds are scoped and quoted per RFP, because the number depends on estate size, regulatory scope, migration volume and operating model.
How pricing works
Two independent choices:
- Platform — which of the three Ænix platforms you run, decided by who consumes the capacity: customers who are not you (Public Cloud Platform), your own regulated business units (Private Cloud Platform), or AI workloads on your own GPUs (AI Platform).
- Support tier — how Ænix supports you. Four tiers, from Basic ($1,250 per 10 nodes per month) to Enterprise (custom).
Services — Platform Readiness Assessment, pilot, build, migration, managed operations — are scoped separately.
Which side you land on: an Ænix Public Cloud Platform subscription at provider scale and support for self-run Cozystack are productized, so the price list below is the price. Private Cloud Platform, AI Platform and multi-region operator builds are programmes, not SKUs: they always include an assessment, a migration plan and an operating model, so they are quoted per RFP after scoping.
Step 1 — Pick a platform
| Platform | For | How it is priced |
|---|---|---|
| Ænix Public Cloud Platform | Hosting providers, MSPs, regional clouds and data centres selling cloud to customers | Productized: support tier per 10 nodes, from $1,250 per month, with the Ænix commercial modules included |
| Ænix Public Cloud Platform, operator scale | Telcos, national operators and large public clouds running a multi-region commercial cloud | Multi-year programme, quoted per RFP |
| Ænix Private Cloud Platform | Regulated organisations running cloud for their own users (banks, insurance, public administration, telco, healthcare). Developer self-service is part of this platform, not a separate line item | Multi-year programme, quoted per RFP |
| Ænix AI Platform | Inference, fine-tuning and RAG on your own GPUs: GPU tenancy, model serving, vector databases, GPU sizing | Project plus optional managed retainer, quoted per RFP |
These are the three Ænix platforms. They run on one engine with different surfaces switched on, so a second platform is scoped as a configuration change on the one you already run, not as a second build.
Alongside them: enterprise support for Cozystack for teams running Cozystack on their own or leased servers, who buy the same subscription from the same table, and the WHMCS integration, a proprietary Ænix module included in every tier.
Step 2 — Pick a support tier
This is the published price list: the Ænix Public Cloud Platform subscription. Every support tier includes the proprietary Ænix commercial modules (billing system and WHMCS integration); a team running Cozystack itself buys the same subscription and can simply leave the commercial modules unused. Prices are per 10 physical nodes per month. Annual billing costs 10 months of the monthly price, so two months are free. Toggle annual and monthly, and scroll the table for the full comparison: SLA, commercial modules, support scope, PoC, training, security, consulting, procurement terms and team engagement.
Basic $1,250 / month per 10 nodes billed annually | Standard $3,000 / month per 10 nodes billed annually | Plus $5,500 / month per 10 nodes billed annually | Enterprise Request quote | |

Notes on the table
- Basic covers five incidents; the period they are counted over is stated in the support contract. Incidents related to installation support do not count towards the limit if they are reported inside the 30-day installation-support period.
- Business hours are Monday to Friday, 9:00–18:00 Central European Time, excluding holidays.
- An emergency is a production system down or unresponsive with no workaround available.
- Priority engagement time is engineering time per month for your requests: features, integrations or reviews.
Rows under “Support scope for open-source Cozystack features” describe what Ænix supports, not what the software can do. White-labeling, air-gapped installation, backups and GPU sharing with HAMi are part of open-source Cozystack and available to everyone. Remote access to your clusters only happens with your approval, for the session you approve.
List prices are shown in USD. Contracts with AENIX s.r.o. are in EUR.
What your estate actually costs
The tiers are priced per 10 physical nodes, so the list price is arithmetic rather than a starting point to negotiate from. A worked example at annual-billing prices, per month:
| Physical nodes | Packages | Basic | Standard | Plus |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | 1 | $1,250 | $3,000 | $5,500 |
| 20 | 2 | $2,500 | $6,000 | $11,000 |
| 40 | 4 | $5,000 | $12,000 | $22,000 |
| 60 | 6 | $7,500 | $18,000 | $33,000 |
Two honest caveats. Nodes round up to the next package — 44 nodes is five, not 4.4. And this covers the subscription only: migration, a Platform Readiness Assessment, a pilot or managed operations are separate and quoted after scoping, because they depend on what you are moving and how much of the running you want us to do. Work outside the tier’s scope is billed at $150 per hour.
If your estate is large enough that the table above stops looking sensible, that is the point where the conversation becomes a programme rather than a price list, and we would rather scope it than have you multiply your way to a number neither of us would stand behind.
Services (priced separately)
Platform Readiness Assessment
A fixed-price engagement in two variants: 14 days (focused, one workstream) or 28 days (full, all workstreams and a Phase 2 roadmap). It produces a written current-state review, target architecture, migration roadmap and risk register. The price is agreed before it starts.
Platform Readiness Assessment →
Pilot
A defined slice — one workload class, one customer cohort, one site — used for multi-region operator programmes, which typically run a 3-6 month pilot. Quoted once the slice is defined.
Platform build
- Ænix Public Cloud Platform at provider scale: productized installer, live in weeks once the hardware is ready.
- Multi-region national or operator programmes: a 3-6 month pilot, then 9-18 months to full multi-region production.
- Ænix Private Cloud Platform: after the assessment, a 3-12 month build depending on scope.
Programme builds are quoted per RFP; the drivers are estate size, migration volume, regulatory scope and how much of the operating model you want us to run.
Managed operations
A monthly retainer after deployment: platform operations, monitoring, incident response, capacity planning and quarterly architecture reviews. Set with the build scope.
Model the numbers yourself
Three calculators, each with its own model and its own sources. Each one exports a PDF you can hand to finance.
- Platform TCO calculator — five-year TCO against ten on-prem platforms: VMware, Nutanix, OpenShift, Proxmox, OpenStack, CloudStack, OpenNebula, Harvester, Rancher and Virtuozzo. Software, one-time migration and personnel, with a break-even point.
- Cloud repatriation calculator — your AWS, Azure or GCP bill against the same workload on owned or rented hardware.
- Hosting-provider unit economics — monthly P&L if you resell managed services: revenue, cost of goods, headcount, payback.
Public sector / government procurement
For governments and sovereign cloud consortia, Ænix engages through public-sector procurement (RFI / RFP). AENIX s.r.o. (Czech Republic) handles EU procurement; AENIX INC (Delaware, USA) handles US procurement. Multi-year programmes are priced through the procurement process itself.
