--- title: "Snow Tree Managed Platform" url: "https://www.snow-tree.com/en/managed-platform/" --- Managed platform pricing # Custom software, hosted and operated with one accountable partner. For businesses that need a serious website, web app, API, integration, or internal workflow without becoming a cloud operations team. [Email Snow Tree about managed platforms](mailto:support+snow-tree-platform-1-issue-@gitlab.snow-tree.com?subject=Snow%20Tree%20Managed%20Platform) [Compare plans](https://www.snow-tree.com/en/managed-platform/#pricing) Pricing model Shared partner runtime **From $950/mo + allocated usage** Dedicated cluster **From $3,000/mo + cloud costs** Setup baseline **Git workspace and initial setup included** Lower tiers run on shared Snow Tree GKE capacity. Dedicated tiers get their own isolated project, environments, auth, and platform boundary. One owner Snow Tree is the first call for the app, platform, releases, incidents, and vendor coordination. Real cloud bill Infrastructure stays visible by project, environment, service, storage, traffic, database, and backup usage. No hostage stack Code, domains, credentials, database exports, and deployment state stay portable enough to hand off. Plans ## Minimum monthly management plus transparent cloud usage. These are management minimums. Shared tiers keep partner costs down by reusing Snow Tree platform capacity; dedicated tiers separate the client into their own cloud boundary. Shared ### Managed site runtime $950/mo starting For a serious business site, landing system, or light app that can run on Snow Tree's shared production platform. - Shared GKE/CDN platform, TLS, static assets, and domain coordination - Monthly platform maintenance, dependency review, and cost report - Uptime checks, backup verification where data exists, and business-hours triage Shared plus ### Managed partner app $1,750/mo starting For a custom app, API, integration, database-backed workflow, or customer portal that can share platform infrastructure. - Everything in Shared, plus release support, auth, database operations, and secrets - Weekly operational review of errors, cost movement, backups, certificates, and dependency risk - Allocated usage reporting by namespace, service labels, storage, logs, and high-variance managed resources Dedicated ### Independent cluster $3,000/mo starting + cloud costs For clients that need their own isolated GCP project, GKE cluster boundary, dev/prod environments, and authentication systems. - Git workspace, initial platform setup, GitOps-managed infrastructure, and environment bootstrap included - Dedicated dev/prod posture, observability, rollback paths, secrets, auth, and backup baseline - Provider costs pass through separately with the client's own billing boundary and budget alerts Billing model ## Predictable management. Granular infrastructure. ### 1. Platform management minimum The monthly minimum reserves Snow Tree for operations, routine maintenance, release support, monitoring review, backup checks, vendor coordination, and incident triage. ### 2. Shared usage allocation On shared clusters, per-client cloud usage is estimated from namespaces, service labels, storage, logs, egress, and any separately provisioned managed resources. That keeps lower tiers affordable without pretending every shared platform dollar maps perfectly to one client. ### 3. Dedicated pass-through When a client needs audited cloud pass-through or hard isolation, the dedicated tier moves them into their own project and cluster boundary. New features, migrations, redesigns, and major infrastructure changes are still scoped before they start. Included operations ## What Snow Tree owns every month. Runtime ### Right-sized hosting Static CDN, managed services, or GKE Gateway-backed apps depending on what the workload actually needs. Data ### Database and backup posture PostgreSQL-first data modeling, migrations, routine backup checks, and exportable data when the business needs it. Operations ### Monitoring and maintenance Health checks, logs, alerts, dependency/runtime updates, certificate checks, and plain-English monthly reporting. Security ### Practical security baseline TLS, headers, secret management, least-privilege access, dependency review, and incident notes without enterprise theater. Spend ### Budget guardrails Cloud budgets, alert thresholds, service tagging, and review notes so traffic spikes and product changes are visible early. Handoff ### Portable by design Git-backed source, documented runtime assumptions, exportable data, and clear ownership if the business later brings ops in-house. Cloud planning ranges ## Usage stays visible before it becomes expensive. ### Shared business site $25-$150/mo cloud planning range Allocated shared-platform usage for static assets, CDN, TLS, DNS, small forms, or a lightweight server runtime. ### Shared app with database $100-$600/mo cloud planning range Web app/API, managed database, backups, logs, identity, release environment, and normal traffic on shared capacity. ### Dedicated cluster $750-$3,500+/mo cloud planning range Independent GCP project, GKE cluster, dev/prod environments, identity, observability, backups, provider support, and stricter retention. Planning ranges are not quotes. Actual cloud usage depends on traffic, storage, database size, backups, logs, regions, provider support, and required uptime posture.
