Pricing

You can settle your DaDesktop bills through four distinct channels:

1. Public cloud infrastructure (starting at just ₹260 per day)
2. Dedicated private servers (starting from ₹830 per day)
3. Volume buying or reseller programs (effective cost as low as ₹8 per day)
4. On-premise deployment
   

Public Cloud

Billing for public cloud instances is calculated on a daily basis. A standard Linux desktop featuring 8GB RAM, an 8-core processor, and 50GB of SSD storage starts at ₹260 per day.

If you require enhanced resources, each additional block comprising 8GB RAM, 8 CPU cores, and 50GB of storage incurs a supplementary charge of ₹260.

Windows instances come with an additional fee of ₹83 per day. However, this surcharge is waived if you supply your own valid Windows license.

Note The daily billing cycle for any machine begins 24 hours after activation, aligned with the server’s local midnight timestamp.

Private Server

If you prefer predictable budgeting irrespective of the number of desktops or individual resource allocation, you can lease an entire physical server.

In this scenario, your limit is determined solely by the server's total capacity rather than per-unit charges. Reach out to us via this link for further information.

Reseller or volume discounts

We offer substantial savings, with discounts reaching up to 80% on reseller and bulk purchase plans.

This option is typically ideal for enterprises that plan to:

1. Integrate DaDesktop into their own product suite
2. Resell the service to end-users
3. Purchase in large volumes
   

On-premise

The standard pricing for on-premise deployment stands at ₹500 per core.

Courses

For both Public Cloud and Reseller plans, course billing is directed to the Organization Owner, calculated based on users who provisioned desktops during the course duration.

Trainers

• If a Trainer is invited to join a course, the Organization Owner covers the cost.
• If a Trainer creates the course independently, the Trainer is billed for it.

• In summary, the owner of the organization that created the course is responsible for the billing.
