Four options by how you buy — Free trial, Starter, Business, and Custom. Capabilities and fit are on this page; commercial terms are quote-based so enterprise deals stay competitive. Start a trial with no credit card, or talk to sales.
No public rate card on this page. Commercial terms are quote-based. There is no self-serve checkout or payment processor here — start a free trial or talk to sales.
Step budget
Every execute is charged in steps and stops at a fixed budget — same verdict under load and on regulatory replay.
Warehouse
Decision warehouse, KPIs and champion/challenger so production evidence is queryable, not lost in logs.
Governance
Draft → review → approve → publish with separation of duties and audit exports for regulated change.
Edge & cloud
Signed portable bundles for edge/wasm targets; Business runs the same images in your AWS, Azure or GCP account.
Size your plan
Enter the decisions you expect to execute each month. We match it against capacity bands — not a price list.
Rounded to the nearest thousand. Use your peak month, not your average.
Starter covers about 1,000,000 decisions a month
25% of the capacity band
Quote-based
Commercial terms are tailored — talk to sales or start a free trial to evaluate.
Honest residual: no published list prices, no Stripe/checkout on this site, no invented payment module. Trial does not auto-convert. Talk to sales for a formal quote, PO and security pack.

Hosting honesty: Free trial and Starter are hosted in EU regions (Frankfurt default) — not a multi-region SaaS mesh. Business runs the same images in your AWS, Azure or GCP account (any region you operate). Custom adds on-premise and air-gapped Kubernetes. Edge/wasm (Lambda, Workers, Cloud Run) is portable when you self-host.
Before you pick a plan
A trial needs no card and no call, so the cheapest way to size a plan is usually to run your own decisions through one. Enterprise buyers: Talk to sales for quote, PO and SLA.
Two paths, no dead ends: evaluate in a free trial workspace, or book time with an executive seller for quote and procurement.
Describe your current ODM footprint and decision volume. We highlight architectural differences and latency — commercial terms come from sales, not a public calculator.
Your current deployment
16 VPCs
8 RuleApps
25M decisions/mo
What this is: A planning aid for migration conversations — not a quote and not a public price list. Latency uses our published ~3.4 ms figure (2 MB / 500 candidates) versus an indicative mid-range classic Decision Server workload. Talk to sales for TCO on your estate.
Next step
Commercial terms on request
No list prices on this page. Share your VPC count, RuleApps and volume with sales for a formal quote.
Trials, multi-cloud, on-prem, DPA, SLA — without publishing list prices competitors can undercut.
Why are there no list prices on this page?
DecisionManager is sold as enterprise software. Commercial terms are quote-based so volume, residency, support and procurement requirements stay competitive. Use Free trial to evaluate; Talk to sales for a formal quote, PO and security pack.
What plans do you offer?
Free trial (evaluate with no card), Starter (production teams), Business (company scale, your cloud), and Custom (on-prem/air-gap, written SLA, negotiated volume). Capabilities differ by plan; prices are not published here.
How does this compare to IBM ODM cost?
IBM ODM is typically licensed per processor/VPC through Passport Advantage as a negotiated enterprise contract. We size DecisionManager by decision volume and deployment model and quote accordingly. We do not invent an ODM list price to “beat.”
Free trial vs Starter vs Business vs Custom — who is each for?
Free trial: prove fit on a seeded workspace. Starter: production governance, warehouse and SSO. Business: higher volume and deploy in your AWS/Azure/GCP account. Custom: regulated estates, on-prem/air-gap, dedicated support and a written SLA — Talk to sales.
Multi-cloud and on-prem — what is actually included?
Hosted trial/Starter stay in EU regions (Frankfurt default); we do not operate a multi-region hosted mesh. Business: same container images in your own AWS, Azure or GCP account, any region you operate. Custom: adds on-premise and air-gapped Kubernetes. Edge/wasm is portable when you self-host.
What does procurement need (PO, DPA, security questionnaire, SLA)?
Start a free trial with email and password — no card. DPA is available on Starter and above. Custom: Talk to sales for quote, PO, written SLA, security questionnaire support and custom terms. We hold no SOC 2, ISO 27001 or HIPAA certification today and will not imply one; practices are SOC 2-aligned; formal certification is on the roadmap.
Is there a free trial? Is a credit card required?
Yes — free trial with email and password only. No credit card, no sales call required. The workspace arrives with a published, deployed decision service so you can size fit before you buy.
What if we need more decision volume?
Capacity bands are guidance only. Above Business self-serve fit, Talk to sales for a Custom volume agreement. We do not publish silent overage traps or list-price ladders on this page.
Honest residual: no published list prices, no Stripe/checkout on this site, no invented payment module. Trial does not auto-convert. Talk to sales for a formal quote, PO and security pack.
