FAQs
How pricing works in Spice for open-source, enterprise, and cloud deployments.
Is Spice available on AWS Marketplace?
Yes. Spice.ai Enterprise is available on AWS Marketplace, allowing teams to purchase and deploy Spice through their existing AWS billing and procurement workflows. This includes support for Private Offers, consolidated billing, and fast onboarding. Visit the AWS Marketplace listing here.
Is on-prem supported?
Yes. Spice is portable and can run on-prem in Kubernetes, VMs, or bare metal. Enterprises can also use private cloud deployments or hybrid models where acceleration and model serving run close to the application while governance is centralized.
How is Spice Cloud Enterprise different from the other offerings?
Enterprise Cloud provides a dedicated, multi-region, high-availability cluster with significantly higher compute, storage, and concurrency limits, as well as enterprise-grade features. Unlike the Developer and Pro tiers, Enterprise includes custom vCPU/memory configurations, persistent object storage, JDBC/ODBC support, 1024+ concurrent queries, commercial licensing and resale rights, and Premium 24/7 on-call support with a 99.9% SLA.
