Pricing

You can choose from four payment models when using DaDesktop:

1. Public cloud (starting at 3 EUR per day)
2. Private server (starting at 10 EUR per day)
3. Reseller or volume pricing (starting at 0.1 EUR per day)
4. On-premise
    

Public Cloud

A basic Linux desktop with 8GB RAM, an 8-core CPU, and 50GB of SSD storage is billed at 3 EUR per day.

For each additional upgrade of 8GB RAM, 8 CPU cores, or 50GB of storage, you will be charged an extra 3 EUR daily.

If you opt for a Windows environment, there is an additional fee of 1 EUR per day. However, this charge does not apply if you provide your own valid license key.

NB The daily billing period is calculated within a 24-hour window from midnight in the server's local time.

 

Private Server

If you prefer predictable fixed costs irrespective of the number of desktops or the specific resources allocated to each, you can opt for a dedicated whole server.

In this scenario, your limit is defined solely by the server's total resources, rather than per-unit fees. For further information, please get in touch with us.

 

Reseller or volume discounts

We offer significant savings of up to 80% for resellers and high-volume buyers.

This option is typically designed for organisations looking to:

1. Integrate DaDesktop directly into their own products
2. Resell the service to end-users
3. Bulk purchase resources 
    

On-premise

The standard rate for on-premise deployment is 6 EUR per core.

 

Public Cloud Case Scenarios

---

Case 1

A user runs an Ubuntu desktop (8GB RAM, 8 CPUs, 50GB storage) for 8 hours within a single day. 

Total cost: 3 EUR

 

---

Case 2

A user runs an Ubuntu desktop (8GB RAM, 8 CPUs, 50GB storage) for a few hours each day over five days. 

Total cost: 5 days * 3 EUR = 15 EUR

 

---

Case 3

1. A user runs an Ubuntu desktop (8GB RAM, 8 CPUs, 50GB storage) for 1 hour
2. The desktop is deleted
3. A new desktop with identical specifications is created later that same day and used for 1 hour

Total cost: 3 EUR

 

---

Case 4

1. A user runs an Ubuntu standalone desktop (8GB RAM, 8 CPUs, 50GB storage) for 1 hour
2. The desktop is deleted
3. A new desktop with upgraded specs (16GB RAM, 16 CPUs, 100GB storage) is created later that same day and used for 1 hour

This involves two separate machines with different configurations:

Machine 1 = 3 EUR

Machine 2 = 6 EUR

Total cost: 3 + 6 = 9 EUR

 

---

Case 5

1. A user runs an Ubuntu course desktop (8GB RAM, 8 CPUs, 50GB storage) for 1 hour
2. The desktop is deleted
3. An additional desktop (by the same participant or trainer) with upgraded specs (16GB RAM, 16 CPUs, 100GB storage) is created later that same day and used for 1 hour

Total cost: 6 EUR 

 

Courses

For both Public Cloud and Reseller plans, course costs are invoiced to the Organization Owner based on the desktops created by participants during the course period.

Trainers

• If a Trainer is invited to join a course already set up, the Organization Owner is responsible for the payment.
• If the Trainer initiates and creates the course, they will be billed directly.

• In short, the owner of the organization where the course was created is billed for it.
