Pricing FAQ
Operational clarity before you commit.
What happens after the first six months?
You can continue managed hosting for $200 per month or $2,000 per year, or move to self-hosting. There is no software lock-in.
Is managed hosting different software?
No. Both models run the same open-source DeGov code. The difference is who owns deployment, infrastructure, updates, monitoring, and maintenance.
What does annual billing save?
Annual managed hosting costs $2,000 per year, saving $400—approximately 17%—compared with twelve monthly payments.
Is Atlas included in Square pricing?
No. This page applies to Square hosting. Atlas data access and integration work are scoped separately to real product requirements.
