A simple model, calibrated for enterprises
Two axes, nothing hidden
Maleus bills on what builds software and what it consumes. No per-head tax on the people who simply use the applications you ship.
Seats: for builders
A subscription per person who actually builds in the factory: a product manager, a designer, a business analyst, a developer. Whoever drives the production line holds a seat.
Builders only. The people who use the applications you deliver are never billed; rolling an app out broadly costs nothing per head.
Consumption: what the agents use
A consumption unit measures the compute and AI the agents put to work to produce. The more you generate, the more you consume: a base monthly allocation is included, and anything beyond it is pay-as-you-go.
A concrete benchmark: generating a full application (a few screens, an API, business rules) has cost roughly the equivalent of ~€1,600 in consumption.
Three modes, and how each changes the bill
Where Maleus runs decides who pays for the compute. Pick the mode that matches your control and sovereignty needs.
Maleus SaaS cloud
Hosted by Maleus on AWS in Paris. The fastest way to get started: nothing to provision on your side.
Price impact
Consumption is billed by Maleus. One predictable line, no infrastructure to manage.
Private cloud: bring your own
Deployed inside your own cloud account, behind your perimeter. Built for teams that want to keep control of their cloud spend.
Price impact
You pay your own infrastructure and LLM gateway directly; consumption is not re-invoiced by Maleus.
On-premise
Deployed in your own datacenter. For sovereign, government and air-gapped contexts.
Price impact
Quote-based. Scoped with you against your security and sovereignty constraints.

Indicative ranges, not a rigid grid
These are not closed plans; they are entry points into the factory. The pilot is where almost everyone starts.
Pilot
The standard way to start with Maleus.
from ~€2,000
per month, indicative
- One month of factory access
- Builder training included
- Your first real application, delivered
- Deployable to production, kept afterwards
Starter
Continuous use once the pilot proves out.
indicative range
builder seats + consumption
- Ongoing factory access
- Builder seats for your team
- Monthly consumption allocation
- Platform updates & support
Enterprise
At-scale, multi-team and sovereign deployments.
Custom quote
scoped with you
- On-premise & private cloud
- Multiple builder teams
- Annual contracts
- Dedicated onboarding & support
Our model evolves with the product. The amounts above are indicative orders of magnitude: the exact price is defined with you, against your perimeter. We would rather be honest about that than print a number we cannot stand behind.
The best way to judge Maleus is to produce with it
One month of factory access, training included, and your first real application built and kept. A scoped cost, a short perimeter, a concrete deliverable: risk you can control.
Onboarding & scoping
We frame a real use case together: short, concrete perimeter.
Training your builders
Around four hands-on sessions over a week. Your team learns the factory.
Producing your first versions
You build the first versions of your application with the agents.
Deployable & autonomous
An application you can ship to production and run yourselves.

What an engagement covers
Plain and factual: what comes with Maleus, and what is billed elsewhere so there are no surprises.
Included in every engagement
- Access to the factory and the catalog of agents
- Training for your builder teams
- Onboarding and use-case scoping
- Support across the engagement
- Platform updates as the product evolves
- Security patches distributed to delivered applications
Billed separately
- Compute and LLM gateway in bring-your-own-cloud mode, billed by your cloud provider directly
- On-premise infrastructure and operations on your side
In bring-your-own-cloud and on-premise modes you keep control of your infrastructure spend, and Maleus does not re-invoice it.
Put the price next to what it replaces
A project run with Maleus is measured in tens to hundreds of thousands of euros, where the equivalent traditional build easily passes a million, and takes far longer.
Equivalent scope, built the classic way: months of work, several specialists, a budget past seven figures.
An order of magnitude: the exact figure depends on your perimeter. The point is the scale, not a guaranteed ratio.
~€1,600
A full application (screens, an API, business rules) generated for the equivalent of roughly €1,600 in consumption, in under half a day of effective work, where the manual process used to occupy three people.
~€30k / year
An expensive third-party SaaS replaced by an application built in the factory, saving on the order of €30,000 a year in licence costs.
Across the industry, AI lets teams generate code around five times faster; yet end-to-end delivery only moves about 1.1×. The cycle around the code is the bottleneck. That is exactly what the factory addresses, and why paying for it makes sense. See what the factory produces
