A fixed 90-day pilot entry. A committed annual subscription when you move to production. No surprise cloud bills. No metering against workloads you control.

DIY platform build required
GPU, storage, and network are billed directly by your cloud or hardware provider — AWS, Azure, GCP, Oracle, or bare metal. Iftah charges zero margin on compute. Your procurement team sees every infrastructure line item in your own account.
How you pay
We charge for the governance platform and its remote, audited operation — not for the silicon you already own, and not for tokens we cannot and will not see. Procurement can budget all four lines before the first technical call.
Annual · Iftah
An annual, capacity-based license for the full single-tenant governed stack — all six products on one install. Sized by governed accelerator-node band or as a flat per-cluster site license; 3- and 5-year terms lower the effective rate. Enforced offline — no phone-home, no usage meter inside your perimeter.
One-time · Iftah
The fixed-fee 90-day pilot: we install into your cluster, integrate your identity provider via a client-local key mirror, tune guardrails for your domain identifiers, and drive the production cutover gate-set. Credited toward your production contract on cutover.
Annual · Iftah
An annual contract for remote, break-glass operation under a written RACI — signed GitOps releases, fleet patch and CVE management, and SLA-backed support. Standard support is included; 24/7 mission-critical response and a named lead are priced as upgrades.
Paid to your provider
You pay your cloud provider or hardware vendor directly for compute, storage, and accelerators — in your account, in your region. We never resell, mark up, or meter it. Stated plainly so total cost of ownership is honest from day one.
Engagement tiers
One spine: prove it, run it, then sovereign-harden it. Every tier ships the full governance floor — deployment mode and operations depth are priced on top, never the entry.
Prove governed AI on your own infrastructure — before committing budget.
How it's billed
Fixed-fee · 90 days
One number, no usage variability — credited toward production on cutover. Design Partners receive reduced founding-customer pricing.
Right for you if
You need to prove private AI works in your environment before committing to production.
Live production on cloud, private, or sovereign-regional cloud — real users and data, one region.
How it's billed
Committed annual · 3 & 5-yr terms
Operations & support contracted alongside; air-gap, 24/7, and a multi-cloud control plane are priced as upgrades.
Right for you if
You have a validated pilot and are ready to run AI for a named business team at scale.
On-prem or fully air-gapped for government, defense, central banks, and critical infrastructure.
How it's billed
Custom annual / multi-year
A capacity site license plus a dedicated managed-operations fee, billed as separate line items.
Right for you if
You are a government entity, defence organisation, or regulated institution requiring fully air-gapped or classified deployment.
Exceeds budget
Organisations retrofitting AI for compliance after deployment face costs exceeding the original deployment budget.
3–6 months
A the OCC or HIPAA regulatory finding related to an AI system typically requires 3–6 months of remediation work.
$5M
A single data-sovereignty incident can trigger fines up to $5 million (HIPAA) or $5 million (the US HIPAA) — plus supervisory intervention and potential mandate withdrawal.
Iftah’s pilot is priced to let you validate sovereign AI before your regulator does. The alternative is more expensive.
What drives price
Pricing tracks the governance value you deploy and the depth at which we operate it — not your token usage.
Priced by accelerator-node band — or a flat per-cluster site license — not per physical GPU, so dense, partitioned, or idle hardware is never punitively taxed. You scale capacity you control; the license tracks governance value, not silicon.
Cloud VPC and private / regional sovereign cloud sit at the base; on-prem and fully air-gapped carry a sovereignty premium for the heavier assurance, offline enforcement, and operations they demand.
Annual is the floor; 3- and 5-year committed terms lower the effective rate, rewarding the budget-stable horizon sovereign and government buyers prefer. Committed-capacity bands lower it further.
Standard support is included in the subscription. Business-critical 24/7 response, a named operations lead, and accelerated per-data-class RPO/RTO are premium upgrades — never baked into the entry price.
Included in every tier
Every install — pilot to sovereign — ships the same governance controls. These are standard, not paywalled. Security, architecture, and procurement materials are available during enterprise evaluation.
Federated SSO and service-account identity via a client-local key mirror — no per-request egress to your IdP — with policy-as-code making a default-deny, fail-closed authorization decision on every request.
Presidio PII/PHI detection and NeMo injection/jailbreak rails run in-region as local pods — never a SaaS guardrail API — tuned for your domain identifiers. PHI handling is fail-closed by default.
Every governance decision and outcome is written to a tamper-evident, append-only, in-region store with a partitioned hash-chain. If the audit sink is unavailable the platform fails closed to a durable buffer — never a silent gap.
Iftah operates your install under a time-bound, client-approved, fully audited break-glass key governed by a written RACI. We hold no standing access to your prompts, responses, or pods; all changes flow as signed GitOps artifacts.
