Pricing
There are four ways you can pay for DaDesktop:
- Public cloud (from 3 EUR per day)
- Private server (from 10 EUR per day)
- Reseller or volume purchasing (from 0.1 EUR per day)
- On premise
Public Cloud
Desktops are charged daily, starting at 3 EUR per day for a basic Linux desktop with 8GB of RAM, an 8-core CPU, and 50GB of SSD storage.
Each additional 8GB of RAM, 8 CPU cores, and 50GB of storage costs an extra 3 EUR.
Windows machines add an extra 1 EUR per day. If you bring your own license, this fee is waived.
NB The daily charge for machines applies within a 24-hour window beginning at midnight, based on the local server time.
Private Server
If you prefer fixed costs regardless of how many desktops you run or the resources assigned to a single desktop, you can purchase an entire server.
In this setup, your only limit is the server’s resources, not the number of desktops or units.
