Pricing & ROI
Pricing designed around how Horizon is actually used.
Horizon pricing is built around a simple principle: you pay for the resources you need, and for the team that operates the platform — not for licenses you already own.
Rather than bundling everything into a single opaque fee or reselling third-party tools, Horizon separates pricing into clear parts that reflect how real development pipelines operate.
The three parts of Horizon pricing
Infrastructure resources (capacity-based)
Every Horizon deployment runs on real infrastructure: compute, storage, networking, and often GPUs. These resources are sized to your specific pipeline based on team size, workload profile, environments, regions, and build requirements. Infrastructure costs are variable by design, because no two studios operate the same way.
TechOps (managed Horizon operations)
TechOps covers the operation, governance, and ownership of Horizon as a platform. This includes initial setup, ongoing platform operation, security and compliance enforcement, upgrades, maintenance, cost governance, and support. TechOps replaces the need to build and operate an internal platform team.
Your existing tool licenses (not resold)
Horizon does not resell development tool licenses. Studios continue to use their existing licenses for source control, issue tracking, engines, SDKs, and middleware. Horizon orchestrates these tools without replacing or repackaging them.
What this pricing model avoids
This structure deliberately avoids per-minute billing surprises, fragmented invoices across dozens of tools, hidden margins on third-party licenses, and forcing teams into a single vendor stack. Pricing aligns with operational reality rather than marketing categories.
Where ROI actually comes from
Horizon ROI comes from reducing operational waste that studios already experience. Key value drivers include reduced non-productive developer hours, faster onboarding, reduced internal platform overhead, better utilization of shared compute and GPUs, and improved security and compliance posture.
ROI validated through your own data
Horizon ROI is validated through KPI-led pilots rather than fixed promises. Baseline metrics are compared against measured outcomes such as hours lost per developer per week, onboarding time, workspace adoption, policy compliance, and idle infrastructure cost reduction.
Pricing that scales with maturity
Horizon pricing scales with team size, collaboration complexity, security and compliance requirements, and infrastructure footprint. As organizations grow or add partners, the pricing model evolves with the operating model without forcing re-architecture or vendor lock-in.
