Fast ROI by making Kafka instantly usable for analytics
Streambased is deployed in your own environment with an annual subscription based on the number of Kafka clusters accessed through the platform.
Streambased Pricing
No credit card for trials. Pilots can roll forward into production.
How our pricing works
Streambased is deployed in your own environment and licensed as an annual subscription based on the number of Kafka clusters you connect – not on data volume. Both production and non-production clusters are included, with support tiers to match your needs.
Annual subscription
Priced per Kafka cluster you connect, across both production and non-production clusters.
Self-hosted
Streambased runs directly in your environment, alongside your Kafka and Iceberg stack.
Support that scales with you
Start simple and move to mission-critical support as you reach production, with higher responsiveness and coverage when it matters most.

A pricing model that fits how Kafka is actually used
Runs alongside your existing stack
Deployed in your environment, with no external service to manage or integrate.
Not tied to data volume or usage
Pricing is based on the Kafka clusters you access – not how much data you process or how often you query it.
Scales with your deployment
As you expand across clusters, pricing becomes more efficient, with additional benefits for longer-term commitments.
