The Free Plan: A Great Way to Explore Mendix
Mendix offers a Free Plan, ideal for those new to low-code development or Mendix itself, offering the basics without financial commitment.
While limited in terms of data storage and other resources, the Free Plan allows you to develop and deploy applications at no cost, making it ideal for early testing or smaller personal projects. This option works well for small proof-of-concept builds, but keep in mind its storage and feature limitations if your project demands more.
How to access it?
- Go to the Mendix website and Sign Up with a professional account (or your academic account);
- Go to the Mendix Marketplace and download Mendix Studio Pro - the visual IDE (Integrated Development Environment) to build your applications;
- Build your first application and run it locally on your computer, or deploy it to the Mendix Free sandbox environment with a single click of a button.
Basic Plan: Affordable with Room for Growth
If you’re ready to go beyond the Mendix basics, the Basic Plan steps up in both support and capacity. With more storage and better support, it can deliver the configuration for a simple project or small teams that need to move beyond a proof-of-concept stage.
The Basic Plan still lacks more advanced integration options or other advanced features, so it works best for teams who need simplicity with a low budget and investment.

- # of Apps: 1;
- # of Users: up to 100 (only Internal Users);
- Deployment environment: only Mendix Cloud (with limitations).

The Premium Plan is suitable for companies with high security, compliance, and scalability demands. Premium offers flexibility and vast customisation options, which are ideal for enterprises that rely on mission-critical applications and need more from their low-code platform.
What does the Premium Pricing Plan offer more than the Standard Pricing Plan?
It’s all about the critical importance of your portfolio of applications.
On top of the Standard Plan advantages, the Premium Plan has more features and capabilities, such as allowing you more flexibility on the number of Environments per application (e.g., Development, Acceptance, Production); it has more Vertical and Horizontal Scalability flexibility on your Mendix Cloud Deployment Environments; allows multi-region failover to your Mendix Cloud Infrastructure; or has 24/7 Support for any issue that occurs in your Mendix Platform configuration.

4 Key Considerations to Choose the Right Mendix Pricing Plan
To help you decide on the ideal Mendix Pricing Plan and platform configuration, here are 4 main factors you need to consider:
- Project or Portfolio Complexity and Requirements: Consider the scale and complexity of your applications. The Free or Basic Plan may be sufficient for straightforward projects, but more complex projects will likely need robust features in the Standard or Premium tiers.
For example, if you need to build one or more applications or consider external users for your application; - Number of Users and Access: evaluate the number of users of your company (Internal Users) and External Users (such as your customers) who need access to your application to decide which Pricing Plan fits your needs at the moment and in the future;
- Deployment option to your Project or Portfolio: Mendix offers great Cloud solutions for the deployment process of your applications, but you can also opt for your own Deployment options (from other Cloud solutions to On-premises deployment);
- Budget and Long-Term Growth: Mendix’s tiered pricing allows for scalable growth, so balancing your current budget with potential future needs is worth balancing. You can start small and easily scale as needs grow, which is a feasible strategy that Mendix allows you to implement. re.tone can reinforce it through our Digital Execution Approach.
