Quick answers

What counts as a node?

Any server, VM, Raspberry Pi, desktop, laptop, industrial computer, or embedded device capable of running containers that is either running the Portainer Server or is managed by one. Node tiers are measured in logical CPUs (vCPUs), where 1 vCPU equals 1 Intel or AMD CPU core.

Can I add more nodes to my subscription?

Starter and Scale plans have a fixed node count for the term and can be adjusted at renewal. Enterprise plans support mid-term node additions; contact sales to expand your license at any point during your subscription.

Do Docker, Swarm, and Kubernetes need separate licenses?

No. A single Portainer license covers all orchestrators and runtimes across your licensed nodes, with no additional fees for using Docker, Swarm, and Kubernetes together.

Do you offer professional services?

Yes. Enterprise customers have access to consulting, implementation, configuration, and support engagements. We also offer an Engineer-as-a-Service model and a full Managed Platform Services option.

Is there a free trial for Enterprise?

Yes. Enterprises can get an Extended Free Trial license key for 15 nodes for 45 days.
