How is Conduktor priced?
Console is available in three tiers: Community (free), Online ($1,200/seat/year or $125/seat/month), and Enterprise (contact sales). Gateway uses per-cluster pricing with a 3-cluster minimum. Disaster Recovery & Failover and Protect are optional add-ons to Core Gateway.
What's the difference between Community, Online, and Enterprise?
Community is the free edition for developers and small teams, with core Kafka operations for up to 50 users and 3 clusters. Online adds team governance, advanced Insights, federated ownership, and unlimited clusters. Buy online, license delivered by email within 1 business day. Enterprise adds volume pricing, dedicated customer success, custom contracts, SLA, and priority support.
Are any Console tiers cloud or SaaS?
No. Every Console tier (Community, Online, and Enterprise) is self-hosted. You deploy Console on your own infrastructure: Kubernetes, Docker, or cloud VMs. The tiers differ in what features are unlocked and how you purchase. Community is free, Online is a self-serve online purchase, Enterprise is a custom contract with dedicated support.
What's included with Console Online?
A self-hosted Console license covering your seat count, with access to all paid features including Insights, ownership, governance, and automation. Includes community support (docs, Slack) and email support for license and billing issues. Does not include SLA, dedicated customer success, or Gateway.
What's the difference between Console and Gateway?
Console is our web-based platform for Kafka operations, monitoring, and governance. Gateway is a proxy layer that sits between your applications and Kafka, enabling traffic control, encryption, data quality enforcement, and secure external data sharing.
Do I need Gateway if I have Console?
No, Console and Gateway are independent products. Many teams start with Console for operations and monitoring, then add Gateway when they need enforcement capabilities like encryption, data quality rules, or partner data sharing.
What Kafka providers and deployment models are supported?
Both Console and Gateway work with any Kafka provider — Confluent, AWS MSK, Redpanda, and more. Both are deployed on-premise or on Kubernetes; there is no cloud-hosted dependency. Metrics can be exported via Prometheus, and all features are accessible through the OpenAPI and CLI.
What type of support is provided?
Community users can connect through our Slack channel and submit help tickets. Console Online customers receive community support plus email support for license and billing issues. Enterprise customers receive Silver support with direct access to our dedicated support team, with Gold support available for dedicated customer success engineers and quarterly partnership reviews.
