How pricing works

Provability is free.
Trust-as-a-service is what you pay for.

Signing and verifying your own workloads is free, forever — on Community, every artifact can be signed and checked locally and offline. What you pay for is the hosted, managed ArmoredLedger: tamper-evident provenance you can prove to an auditor without standing up and operating the infrastructure yourself.

You pay a simple per-node base, with generous included quotas. If you exceed them, metered overage keeps the bill honest — we never charge per attestation, because that would teach you to verify less.

  • Per-node base. One predictable price per machine running a Volt runtime, at every paid tier.
  • Included quotas. Storage, build minutes, and registry bandwidth are bundled into each tier.
  • Metered overage. Only pay for usage beyond what's included, billed on the same invoice.
  • Workloads are workloads. However you create them — containers, VMs, or AI — the value is the ledger attestation, included in your tier.
Usage & add-ons

Pay only for what you use beyond your tier.

Each paid tier ships with included quotas. Overage is metered at transparent rates; add-ons are optional.

Introductory pricing

Founding-customer pricing, while it lasts.

The prices above are introductory, pre-launch rates. Early customers receive a unique invitation code for a proof-of-concept period — reach out to get yours. After launch, pricing rises to standard retail rates, with 30 days’ notice before any increase.

Sign on during the introductory period and your rate is grandfathered for two (2) years from sign-up — for as long as your subscription stays active, an increase in that window won’t change what you pay.

Pricing FAQ

Common questions.

A node is a single machine — physical, virtual, or cloud instance — running a Volt runtime such as Voltainer or VoltVisor. You pay per node at the paid tiers; the number of workloads, containers, or VMs on a node is governed by your tier's quotas, not billed per workload.

Yes. Community is free for individuals, education, and non-profits under our source-available license, and includes the full Volt workflow plus local, offline ArmoredLedger signing and verification. The paid tiers add the hosted, managed ledger, unlimited nodes, team features, and support.

Workloads are workloads, however you create them — containers, virtual machines, or AI. The value Armored Gate provides is the same: cryptographic attestation and tamper-evidence in ArmoredLedger. AI-assisted operations (including MCP) are included with Enterprise rather than sold as a standalone add-on.

Each paid tier includes quotas for storage, registry bandwidth, and build minutes. If you stay within them, you pay only your per-node base. If you exceed them, overage is metered at the published rates and added to the same invoice. We do not charge per attestation — verification should never cost you more to do more of.

These are introductory, pre-launch rates. After launch they rise to standard retail pricing, and we give 30 days’ notice before any increase. If you sign on during the introductory period, your rate is grandfathered for two (2) years while your subscription stays active, so an increase in that window won’t change what you pay.

Yes. Annual billing is available on Pro and Enterprise and effectively gives you a 20% discount versus monthly. Gov-Secure is billed annually and sales-assisted.
