WHAT YOU’RE PAYING FOR

A downside hedge on your cloud commitments

Native commitments give you a discount but lock you in for one to three years. An Insured Commitment gives you a similar discount on terms as short as 30 days, with protection built in: sell back as early as 30 days with the Release Guarantee, and get rebated for underutilization with the Rebate Guarantee. The premium is what you pay for that protection. You're not buying software. You're buying the freedom to commit without the risk.

PRICING

The premium is a share of your savings

You pay a premium of 2% to 30% of your savings, depending on the commitment term you choose. Shorter, more flexible terms carry a higher premium. Longer terms carry less, and native three-year commitments are a free passthrough.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

How is the premium calculated?

The premium is a share of the savings a Guaranteed Commitment generates, and it scales with the term you choose: shorter, more flexible terms carry a higher premium, longer terms carry less, and native three-year commitments are a free passthrough. You see the exact premium up front, before you buy.

What happens if my usage drops?

The Rebate Guarantee reimburses you for the underutilized portion of a Guaranteed Commitment, paid back to your bank account. You're protected from paying for capacity you no longer use.

Can I exit a commitment early?

Yes. The Release Guarantee lets you sell back a Guaranteed Commitment as early as 30 days after purchase, so you're never locked into a term that no longer fits.

Is the platform really free?

Yes. Planning, purchasing, and managing your native commitments is free, with no platform fee and no percentage of your cloud spend. You only pay a premium on the optional Guaranteed Commitments you choose to buy.

How am I billed?

Premiums are billed monthly through your cloud provider's marketplace, so Archera charges appear as a line item on your existing cloud invoice and draw down your committed spend. You can also choose to be billed directly.

How do you compare to other commitment tools?

Most tools charge a percentage of your savings, often including commitments you already owned, and take control of your purchasing. Archera keeps the platform free, leaves you in control of every commitment, and charges a premium only on the guaranteed coverage you opt into.
