Pricing
There are four ways you can pay for DaDesktop:
- Public cloud (from 3 EUR a day)
- Private server (from 10 EUR a day)
- Reseller or volume purchasing (from 0.1 EUR a day)
- On premise
Public Cloud
Desktops are charged per day, starting at 3 EUR a day for a straightforward Linux setup with 8GB of RAM, 8 CPU cores, and 50GB of SSD storage.
For each extra set of 8GB RAM, 8 CPU cores, and 50GB storage, you’ll pay an additional 3 EUR.
Windows machines add an extra 1 EUR a day. If you already have your own license, you can skip this charge.
NB Daily charges apply within a 24-hour window starting from midnight, based on local server time
Private Server
If you’d rather have fixed costs no matter how many desktops you run or what resources go to a single desktop, you can get a whole server.
In this scenario, the only limit is the server’s resources, not the number of units or desktops.
