Pricing Information

There are four ways to pay for DaDesktop in Germany:

1. Public cloud — from 3 EUR a day
2. Private server — from 10 EUR a day
3. Reseller or volume purchase — from 0.1 EUR a day
4. On premise
    

Public Cloud

For a basic Linux desktop featuring 8 GB RAM, 8 CPU cores, and 50 GB of SSD storage, the daily rate starts at 3 EUR.

Every additional 8 GB of RAM, 8 CPU cores, and 50 GB of storage adds another 3 EUR to the daily charge.

Windows-based desktops come with an extra 1 EUR per day. If you provide your own license, this fee is waived.

NB The daily charge applies for a 24-hour period beginning at midnight, local server time.

 

Private Server

To keep costs predictable regardless of how many desktops you run or resources you assign, you can purchase a whole server.

With a private server, your only limit is the hardware itself—not a cap on desktops or units.

Reseller or volume discounts

You can save up to 80% with discounts for resellers and bulk purchases.

This option is typically aimed at companies looking to:

1. Embed DaDesktop into your own product
2. Resell the service
3. Buy at scale, with high volume orders
    

On-premise

For on-premise deployments, the standard rate is 6 EUR per core.

Courses

With Public Cloud and Reseller plans, courses are charged to the Organization Owner based on which users launched desktops during the course.

Trainers

• If a trainer is invited to a course, the Organization Owner handles the billing.
• When a trainer creates the course, the trainer is billed directly.

• In short, the Organization Owner of the course is the one billed.
