Paid subscriptions for Heptapod downloads

Starting on May 1st, 2025 our prebuilt Heptapod container images depend on a paid subscription. Send us an email to get your quotation.

End of the grace period

We took the decision to require payment for our production-grade prebuilt container images at the turn of the year.

As we previously announced in the 2025 commercial policy article, we were having a grace period in the first quarter of 2025, to let our users prepare themselves for the new paying model. During this time, we only required registration to orus.io, the flagship instance of Orbeet.

Near the end of February, we added a banner to Heptapod 17.8 to further warn instance administrators about the end of the grace period. At this time, we extended it some, and set the end to be May first.

So, here we are!

How to subscribe

We did not change the price tag from the first announcement, still at €300 per month, excluding taxes.

To subscribe, please send us an email with your invoicing details. We will issue a quotation for one year of Heptapod downloads, until May 1st, 2026.

If you are already registered, please confirm the existing orus.io user

If you are not registered yet, do not worry, we'll do it together with the invoicing. Just make sure to specify the email address of the account to be created, in case it differs from the one you asked the quotation from.
