Cost at 10, 50 and 200 users#
Using the monthly list prices shown on NordLayer’s pricing page:
| Plan | 10 users, 12 months | 50 users, 12 months | 200 users, 12 months |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lite | $8 x 10 users x 12 months = $960 | $8 x 50 users x 12 months = $4,800 | $8 x 200 users x 12 months = $19,200 |
| Core | $11 x 10 users x 12 months = $1,320 | $11 x 50 users x 12 months = $6,600 | $11 x 200 users x 12 months = $26,400 |
| Premium | $14 x 10 users x 12 months = $1,680 | $14 x 50 users x 12 months = $8,400 | $14 x 200 users x 12 months = $33,600 |
Prices in the calculations are from NordLayer’s pricing page. Lite, Core and Premium each have a five-user minimum. Enterprise has a 200-user minimum and starts at $6 per user per month, so its 200-user annual calculation is $6 x 200 users x 12 months = $14,400. The Enterprise price may vary if a higher plan or additional features are selected.
Core and Premium require a server with a Dedicated IP at an additional $40 per month. For a full year, that add-on is $40 x 12 months = $480, where required. Taxes are calculated additionally according to the pricing page.
