A lot of people ask us why Orchard Cloud costs what it costs. Fair question. Here's the honest answer.
We looked at what enterprise cloud compute costs, we looked at what enterprise device leasing costs, and then we asked what it would take to combine the two into a single line item a finance team could approve without too many follow-up questions.
Starter exists mostly so people have something to compare Growth to. This is a well-understood pattern and we're not going to pretend otherwise.
Enterprise is "Contact us" because at that volume we genuinely do need to have a conversation, mostly about logistics.
Onboarding takes 12 to 16 months. We used to say 6 to 8 weeks. We've since gotten more experience with what onboarding actually involves, and the current estimate reflects that.
If any of this makes sense to you, orchard.macless.dev has a calculator.
