Run it yourself, or let us.
Run Hopskip managed in our cloud, or deploy it commercially in your own infrastructure. Community is free for evaluation and small workloads.

Hopskip Cloud
No base fee
pay for compute, storage & network
We host the sandboxed workflow compute and the control plane. There is no worker fleet to provision, patch, scale, or keep alive. Suspend a workflow for a year and it costs storage, not CPU.
Best for the smallest operational footprint

Self-hosted
from $2,500/mo
dev, staging, and cold standby free
The engine runs in your environment under a commercial license, with enterprise identity, compliance controls, and a team behind it. Dev, staging, and cold-standby clusters are free. Only production counts.

Community edition
The execution engine for evaluation and small deployments: sandbox, event store, dispatch, snapshots, replay, all five SDKs, the console, and SQL visibility. It runs on local disk with bearer-token auth, in clusters of up to three nodes. S3 and tiered storage, OIDC and attestation, larger clusters, and multi-region are commercial.
Cloud economics
What a workflow costs to run.
Cloud bills the resources a team already budgets for: CPU, memory, stored data, and network. Workflow shape never appears on the invoice.

procurement
asks.
How is Cloud billed?
Cloud bills active compute and memory, hot and cold storage, and network egress at the provider's published rate for your region. There is no per-workflow, per-step, or per-event charge, and no base fee. A suspended workflow costs storage alone.
What does the commercial plan add?
Production-scale capability: S3 and tiered cold storage, clusters beyond three nodes, multi-region, OIDC and provenance attestation, and the compliance pack. It also adds a commercial license, named support, and upgrade assistance.
Do I run workers with Hopskip Cloud?
No. Hopskip Cloud hosts the sandboxed workflow compute and control plane. Activities that must reach a private network run through the co-process agent or webhook gateway in your environment.
When is Hopskip Cloud available?
Cloud is in early access. Intended rates are published now and may move before GA. Early-access customers get a 12-month rate lock at GA. No SLA or compliance certification is claimed before it exists.
