Pricing FAQ
Operational claritybefore 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 DeGov pricing?
This page covers Square hosting. Atlas is public to browse. Agent API calls use separate per-call pricing, and data partnerships are scoped to your product requirements.
