Pricing
Pay for the apps you ship, not a platform you build
Clavkey packages a full CI/CD pipeline with automated QA and secure, hardened hosting behind single sign-on. Take the pipeline, the hosting, or both. Pricing is per app by size, and we confirm the fit on a short scoping call before you commit.
How pricing works
Two parts, priced on their own
Two parts, priced on their own so you only pay for what you need.
The secure delivery pipeline
Builds, tests, and security-reviews every change to your app before it ships.
Secure hosting
Runs the app itself in a hardened, private environment behind single sign-on.
Most teams take both, so the app is built safely and runs safely. But they are separate line items: bring your own hosting and buy just the pipeline, or host an app you already ship elsewhere and buy just the hosting. Each is priced per app, per month, with a one-time setup.
Component 1
The secure delivery pipeline
Every change to your app runs through an automated build, test, and security review before it goes live, so problems are caught before your customers meet them. Open now for early access: your pipeline runs the checks that are live today, and every new stage we add switches on for you automatically.
- Live today: Semgrep static analysis, Trivy dependency and container scanning, and Playwright end-to-end tests, on every change.
- Adding through early access: fuzz testing, load testing, dynamic scanning, and policy checks.
- Managed for you. No pipeline to build, no DevOps hire.
| Plan | Per month | One-time setup |
|---|---|---|
| AI-built (vibe-coded) app | $75 | $10 |
| Small app | $125 | $250 |
| Medium app | $200 | $300 |
| Large app | $300 | $400 |
| Multi-app (2 to 3 apps) | $500 | $1,000 |
| Multi-app (4 to 5 apps) | $1,000 | $2,000 |
Component 2
Secure hosting
We host the app itself in a secure, hardened environment on the private Clavkey network, reachable only through single sign-on. It is patched and maintained for you, and encrypted in transit and at rest.
Every hosting plan includes
- A fully managed PostgreSQL or MySQL database
- The secure Clavkey network with single sign-on in front of your app
- Encryption in transit and at rest, with patching and maintenance handled for you
- Five SSO users included (additional users are $1 each per month)
| Plan | Per month | One-time setup |
|---|---|---|
| Small app | $35 | $35 |
| Medium app | $50 | $50 |
| Large app | $100 | $100 |
| Multi-app (2 to 3 apps) | $250 | $250 |
| Multi-app (4 to 5 apps) | $400 | $400 |
Built and hosted
Common bundles
Take both and you get the whole path, built safely and run safely. The totals are just the two line items added together, so nothing is hidden. Five SSO users are included with hosting.
| Your app | Pipeline | Hosting | Per month | One-time setup |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AI-built (vibe-coded), hosted | $75 | $35 (small) | $110 | $45 |
| Small app, built + hosted | $125 | $35 | $160 | $285 |
| Medium app, built + hosted | $200 | $50 | $250 | $350 |
| Large app, built + hosted | $300 | $100 | $400 | $500 |
| Multi-app (2 to 3), built + hosted | $500 | $250 | $750 | $1,250 |
| Multi-app (4 to 5), built + hosted | $1,000 | $400 | $1,400 | $2,400 |
The AI-built tier is pipeline-only; when you host an AI-built app it runs on the Small-app hosting plan.
What size is my app?
A starting guide
We confirm the right size with you on a short scoping call before you commit, so you are never guessing.
- AI-built (vibe-coded) app
- An app you built mostly with an AI coding tool: a handful of features, one database, low complexity.
- Small app
- A focused, single-purpose app: a few data models and one or two integrations.
- Medium app
- A multi-feature app: several data models, multiple integrations, or more than one user role.
- Large app
- A complex app: many data models, significant integrations, background jobs, or higher traffic.
- Multi-app
- Two to three, or four to five, apps managed together under one account.
Not sure where you land? That is what the scoping call is for. Tell us what your app does and we will size it honestly.
FAQ
Questions about pricing
- Can I buy the pipeline without hosting, or hosting without the pipeline?
- Yes. They are priced separately. Bring your own hosting and take just the pipeline, or host an app you already ship and take just the hosting. Most teams take both, but neither requires the other.
- How do you decide whether my app is small, medium, or large?
- The descriptions above are a starting point. We confirm the size with you on a short scoping call before you commit, so the number you see is the number you pay.
- What runs in the QA and security pipeline today?
- Semgrep static analysis, Trivy dependency and container scanning, and Playwright end-to-end tests run on every change today. More stages, including fuzz testing, load testing, dynamic scanning, and policy checks, are being added through early access and switch on for your pipeline automatically as they land.
- What is included in hosting?
- A fully managed PostgreSQL or MySQL database, the secure Clavkey network with single sign-on in front of your app, encryption in transit and at rest, patching and maintenance, and five SSO users.
- How much are extra SSO users?
- The first five are included with every hosting plan. Additional users are $1 each per month.
- Is there a setup fee?
- Yes, a one-time setup per app, shown next to each plan. It covers standing up your pipeline or hosting environment.
- Do I need my own DevOps team?
- No. The pipeline and the hosting are managed for you. That is the point.
- What is a vibe-coded app?
- An app you built mostly with an AI coding tool. The AI-built (vibe-coded) tier is a lighter, lower-cost pipeline made for exactly those apps.

No sales runaround. A short scoping call, an honest size, and a clear monthly price for the pipeline, the hosting, or both.
