Your numbers
What aws s3 ls --summarize shows today across your bucket.
How many regions you replicate this data to. Each adds full storage cost.
You'd save approximately $15k/year
After subscribing to Production support — Starter at $10k/year, net annual savings: $5,428.
| Today | With DeltaGlider | |
|---|---|---|
| Storage footprint | 30 TB | 3.0 TB |
| Storage cost (per region) | $8,479 | $848 |
| Replicated across 2 regions | $16,957 | $1,696 |
| Replication egress (new artifacts) | $184 | $18 |
| Subtotal — storage + transfer | $17,142 | $1,714 |
| DeltaGlider production support | $0 | $10,000 |
| Total annual cost | $17,142 | $11,714 |

All math in USD. AWS S3 inter-region replication egress is $0.02/GB. 1 TB = 1024 GB.
stored_footprint = source_tb / compression_ratio
today_storage = source_tb × 1024 × 12 × cost_per_gb_month × regions
dgp_storage = stored_footprint × 1024 × 12 × cost_per_gb_month × regions
today_egress = source_tb × growth × 1024 × (regions - 1) × $0.02
dgp_egress = stored_footprint × growth × 1024 × (regions - 1) × $0.02
savings = (today_storage + today_egress)
− (dgp_storage + dgp_egress)
support_cost = bracket_lookup(stored_footprint)
net_savings = savings − support_costBracket lookup: 0–10 TB → Starter $10k · 10–50 TB → Growth $30k · 50–250 TB → Scale $60k · 250 TB+ → Enterprise, talk to sales.

What we mean by "stored footprint"
Stored footprint = compressed bytes physically stored on your
backend across all DeltaGlider-managed buckets, measured at
month-end. This is the number DeltaGlider already reports at
/_/stats. Not source/logical bytes. Not
ingress/egress. Storage-layer replicas (whatever your backend
does under the hood) don't count.
We don't collect telemetry. You self-report at renewal; we
cross-check via the /_/stats endpoint if you give
us read access during the conversation.
When does someone need a commercial license?
DeltaGlider is GPL-3.0. Most users — including internal infrastructure at any company size — use the OSS build freely with no obligation. You need a commercial license only if:
- You're embedding DeltaGlider in a proprietary product you distribute to customers, AND you can't (or don't want to) satisfy GPL-3.0's source-availability obligations
- Your legal team requires the GPL obligation removed for any other reason
If you're a SaaS or platform running DeltaGlider on your own infrastructure for your own apps, the OSS build is fine forever. Production support is the relationship you buy, not a license.
Frequently asked
Why is Starter $10k? That feels high for "support."
It's not just support — it's an SLA on critical infrastructure plus direct Slack access to the senior engineers who wrote the proxy. At your scale (typically 1–10 TB stored footprint = 100 TB+ of source artifacts), the savings calculator above shows annual savings in the $30–60k range for typical SaaS deployments. $10k lands in a defensible range relative to the value delivered.
What happens if I exceed my bracket?
Measured at renewal, not mid-year. If you're at 12 TB stored footprint at renewal, you renew at Growth. No surprise invoices.
What about shrinking?
Same — you renew at a lower bracket and pay less. Brackets are a relationship tier, not a usage meter.
Replication doubles my footprint — am I being double-counted?
No. We count logical compressed bytes managed by DeltaGlider. Storage-layer replicas don't count.
Why don't you publish the Enterprise price?
Because Enterprise deals genuinely vary — multi-region SLA shape, named-eng-contact attribution, custom audit/compliance attachments. The $60k Scale price is the anchor below; Enterprise is a conversation, not a row in a table.
I'm at 0 TB today — do I still get the trial?
Yes. The trial is bracket-agnostic. Try the relationship before committing to a bracket. /trial
How do I get a real compression number on my own data?
Run docker run deltaglider/proxy against your own
bucket and read the Delta Efficiency Panel at
/_/admin/diagnostics/delta-efficiency. No data
leaves your network. Or talk to us and we'll help you set it
up.
