COSMO Alpaca Pricing and Trial

COSMO Alpaca has a usage-based pricing model. The usage is billed to the minute based on the container runtime. Containers are used to run isolated Business Central environments used for development, testing, and verifying. The following containers are billed:

• Development BC Containers
• Build Agents (running your pipelines/workflows to build and deploy your app)
• Build BC Containers (started from the pipeline/workflow to verify your app and run automated tests)

Stopped containers are free, as well as all other project management functions in Alpaca. There are scheduled Auto-Stop and Auto-Start features to help you save costs. There's also a dashboard with usage per organization, project and user that helps you to keep control over your costs.

Please use the pricing calculator below to estimate your monthly costs. The first 50 hours of container runtime are free for trial.
