Edge node licensing

Priced for real edge hardware.

Edge and IIoT nodes are licensed by hardware class, not cloud vCPU. Each type reflects the constraints of the hardware in the field.

Edge server

≤ 16 cores

Single-socket servers deployed at the edge, in rack or tower form factor. Suitable for regional hubs and site servers.

Edge gateway / industrial PC

≤ 10 cores

Industrial PCs and gateways on the plant floor or in field enclosures. Fanless, DIN-rail, or rugged form factors.

Edge Linux PLC / mini PC

≤ 4 cores

Small form factor mini PCs and Linux-based PLCs. Typical deployments include CNC integration and conveyor control.

IoT sensor node

≤ 1 GHz

Low-power sensor nodes and single-board computers at the far edge. Raspberry Pi class and below.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions.

How is edge node licensing different from standard nodes?

Edge and IIoT nodes are licensed by hardware class rather than vCPU count. This reflects the real-world constraints of industrial and IoT hardware, where a node might be a $30 sensor rather than a cloud VM.

Can Portainer operate in disconnected or air-gapped environments?

Yes. The async edge agent is specifically designed for intermittently connected and fully offline environments. Commands queue at the server and execute when connectivity is restored, so no continuous connection is required.

Do you offer a live demo?

Yes. Contact our IIoT specialist team and we will arrange a live demo tailored to your environment, whether that is factory, energy, logistics, or a distributed retail fleet.

Does the IIoT team require Kubernetes expertise?

No. The Industrial App Portal abstracts Kubernetes entirely. Operators interact with machines, applications, locations, and status rather than Kubernetes primitives, and no YAML knowledge is required.

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.

What counts as a node?

Any server, VM, Raspberry Pi, desktop, laptop, industrial computer, or embedded device capable of running containers that either runs the Portainer Server or is managed by one. On the industrial track those nodes are tiered by hardware class rather than by vCPU.

Is there a free trial for Enterprise?

Yes. Enterprises can request an Enterprise Free Trial and we will create a trial license key tailored to your environment. Contact sales to arrange this.

Looking for enterprise IT pricing?

The data center and cloud track is priced separately.

Starter, Scale and Enterprise plans for enterprise IT are licensed by vCPU per node and are published on portainer.io, along with the Home and Student license for non-commercial use.
