Frequently Asked Questions

01 How much does Alkira cost per month?

Alkira uses a consumption-based pricing model with costs based on cloud connector hours and traffic (GB). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and requires a custom quote. Based on industry positioning and enterprise focus, expect monthly costs starting around $500-1000/month for small deployments, scaling to $5000-10000+/month for large enterprise multi-cloud environments. Alkira delivers up to 40% lower TCO compared to traditional multi-cloud networking solutions.

02 How does Alkira pricing work?

Alkira pricing follows a cloud-like consumption model with fixed hourly prices for cloud connectors of specific sizes/types, plus per-GB charges for traffic. Your monthly invoice shows units consumed (connector hours and GB), cost per unit, and total cost per SKU. All resources support multiple billing tags for detailed cost allocation across teams or projects. Zero upfront costs - you only pay for what you use.

03 Does Alkira offer a free trial?

Alkira's website does not publicly advertise a free trial. As an enterprise-focused Network-as-a-Service platform, they typically work through sales-led demos and proof-of-concept projects. Contact Alkira sales to inquire about trial options, POC pricing, or evaluation programs for your specific multi-cloud networking requirements.

04 What are the TCO benefits of Alkira?

Alkira delivers up to 40% lower Total Cost of Ownership compared to traditional multi-cloud networking solutions, 80% faster provisioning times, and enables enterprises to implement 50% less firewall capacity. These savings come from simplified architecture, reduced operational complexity, and optimized network paths. However, actual TCO depends on your current infrastructure, deployment size, and operational efficiency.

05 How does Alkira compare to Aviatrix pricing?

Both Alkira and Aviatrix use consumption-based pricing but structure it differently. Aviatrix charges per gateway hour ($0.10-0.50/hour) with transparent pricing, while Alkira uses connector hours plus traffic (GB) with custom quotes. Alkira is typically positioned as a premium Network-as-a-Service platform with higher entry costs but potentially lower TCO at scale. For large enterprises, Alkira may offer better value; for mid-sized deployments, Aviatrix may be more cost-effective.
