Release automation and deployment orchestration platform for application delivery.
Octopus Deploy’s public pricing is straightforward at the top level but becomes more configuration-dependent as deployment scale increases. The company publishes annual list pricing for Free, Professional, and Enterprise, and it also explains that tenants and machines are add-ons. For buyers comparing deployment automation tools, that means the headline license is only part of the total cost: your final spend depends on project count, add-on usage, and—on Octopus Cloud—your task-cap choice. The Free tier is genuinely usable for evaluation and small teams, while paid plans add support levels, higher project ceilings, and governance features. For cloud customers, the published annual-only billing model and separate platform fee should be part of procurement planning from the start.
Annual per-project licensing with add-ons for tenants and machines; Octopus Cloud also adds a task-cap platform fee for paid plans.

The free evaluation path includes both a no-time-limit Free tier and a 30-day free trial with full Enterprise features, and the free trial does not require a credit card. The FAQ also says volume pricing and multi-year discounts are available by contacting sales, while academic and non-profit discounts are not offered.
