Before You Buy
Requirements
- A Scalr account, which you will consider the production account.
- Billing permissions. The user completing the purchase must have the
accounts:billingpermission. For marketplace purchases, the user also needsaccounts:readto link the offer to the Scalr account. - Same identity across systems (marketplace only). Be logged into the cloud marketplace and Scalr with the same user/email when activating.
Choosing a Plan
- Business vs. Enterprise. Both tiers use the same run-based pricing. Enterprise adds features such as Bring Your Own Storage, Bring Your Own Encryption Key, SCIM, Control Tower, Audit Logs, a TAM, Slack shared-channel support, contract redlines, and reseller purchasing. See Business vs. Enterprise.
- Monthly vs. Annual. Annual plans let you buy a bulk number of runs to use anytime within one year, with a larger volume discount than monthly plans. Runs do not roll over to the next subscription period.
- Sizing. Use the pricing calculator at scalr.com/pricing to estimate runs. Volume discounts are built into the price.
- Overages. You are never blocked from running. If you use all prepaid runs, flex runs apply, billed at the end of the subscription period (except for marketplace purchases where flex is billed monthly, regardless of the annual pre-paid purchase). You can upgrade or renew early at any time to avoid flex charges.

- AI audit logs
- Consolidated billing across accounts
- Technical account manager
- Custom MSA, contract addendums, and security addendums

After You Purchase
Invoices
Invoices are available in the Scalr UI: go to the account scope, open the Billing page, then Invoices to view and download. The accounts:billing permission is required.
Invoices are emailed to the address in the billing details section, unless a support ticket was opened to provide a different email.
Renewing or Upgrading
You can renew or upgrade at any time on monthly or annual plans. Customers often renew early when they use up runs before the end of the subscription period.
Quotas and Concurrency
Paid plans have quotas to prevent abuse. Quotas can be increased free of charge by opening a support ticket. New accounts get five concurrent runs by default; each deployed agent adds five more. See How does concurrency work?
