Frequently asked questions

How does your pricing work?

For Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB and Informix we license by the number of active database instances.
For IBM Db2 we license by the number of active databases.
For CockroachDB we license by the number of active nodes.
Simply count up the number of instances/database/nodes (depending on the technology) you wish to monitor at any point in time and sign up for an annual subscription.
The licenses can be moved around as needed including between technologies should your requirements change. If you wish to go above the original number of databases purchased - no problem - just get in touch and we can send you a temporary key whilst we figure out if you need a more long-term solution.

What is a database instance for licensing purposes?

For Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB and Informix we license by the number of active database instances. We define the term instance in our docs.

What is a database for licensing purposes?

For IBM Db2 LUW (Linux, Unix, and Windows) we license by the number of active databases In Db2, a database is a structured collection of data and objects such as tables, views and indexes.

What is a node for licensing purposes?

For CockroachDB we license by the number of active nodes. In CockroachDB, a node is an individual instance of the CockroachDB software running on a server or virtual machine. Nodes work together to form a distributed database cluster.

Do I need to pay for HA or DR?

For any DR (Disaster recovery) or HA (High availability) instances that are just standing-by ready to take on traffic in the event of a failure of the primary instance, you wouldn't need to buy additional licenses since they are idle most of the time. When they become active, the primary would become idle so the same license would cover both since only 1 is active at a time.

The exception to this would be if you have a cluster where the secondary instances are actively serving the application, maybe in a read-only capacity, then they still they need to be monitored at the same time as the primary and therefore would need their own licenses.

Can I pay monthly?

We currently cannot offer monthly pricing, but intend to add this in the future. If that is of interest to you, please let us know via info@applicationperformance.com.

Are there any variable costs?

No, you just need to buy one licence per database instance - so there is no need to worry about how big or busy your databases are or how many people you would like to access DBmarlin. Our aim is to keep things simple and encourage the widest possible audience for DBmarlin.

Are discounts available if I wish to cover lots of databases?

Yes, absolutely - any customer wishing to cover more than ten databases will automatically receive additional volume discounts. In the usual way, the more you cover the bigger the discounts will be.

Number of Instances	Discount
10	5%
20	10%
+25	Call or email us

Are discounts available if I can commit to 2 or 3 years?

Yes, absolutely - any customer wishing to commit to longer than an annual subscription will automatically receive an additional discount. The longer the commitment, the better the discount.

How do I get a quotation?

Please get in touch via info@applicationperformance.com and we can sort out a price for you. Soon, we will also be offering self-service pricing so that you can simply buy what you want, when you want it.

What about VAT / taxes?

All prices exclude tax, mainly because there are different taxes applied, depending on where your business is based. Your company will be liable for any applicable taxes, duties and similar governmental charges, and responsible for payment of all such amounts, including sales tax, value added tax (VAT), withholding taxes, export, import and other duties imposed by any governmental agency in connection with this agreement.
