## Reported Results

Outcomes Kubex reports across its customer base:

- **20–60% cloud cost reduction**
- **50% reduction in operational toil**
- **80% fewer out-of-memory (OOM) kills**
- **Up to 3× inference throughput** on the same GPU hardware

Example customer outcomes:

- A global pharmaceutical leader connected a single cluster and let Kubex automate rightsizing, reclaiming 907 cores and 8.8 TB of memory — roughly $585K per year — within two weeks.
- A large enterprise found and eliminated around 6,000 cores of overprovisioning across its clusters, recovering approximately $1.2M.

## FAQs

### How much does Kubex cost?

The Kubernetes Resource Optimization plan is $1/vCPU/month and covers Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure optimization. The Enterprise K8s and GPU Optimization plan is custom-priced: Kubernetes and cloud are priced per vCPU, and GPU/AI infrastructure is priced per GPU. Every plan is free for the first 60 days.

### Is there a free trial?

Yes. Kubex is free for the first 60 days. You can [get started for free](https://kubex.ai/product/trial/) without talking to sales.

### What's the difference between the two plans?

Both plans include the full Kubernetes and cloud optimization suites, the same deployment options (Helm/SaaS across all major clouds and distributions), the same UI/CLI/MCP interfaces, and the same Email/Slack/Live support. The Enterprise plan adds GPU/AI infrastructure optimization (GPU Resource Optimizer, GPU Model Selector, NVIDIA MIG Planner, GPU Observer), SSO, and ingestion of third-party observability metrics, and is custom-priced.

### How is Kubex priced — per vCPU or per GPU?

Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure optimization is priced per vCPU per month ($1/vCPU/month on the standard plan). GPU/AI infrastructure optimization, available on the Enterprise plan, is priced per GPU.

### Which platforms and environments does Kubex support?

Kubex runs across AWS, Azure, GCP, and Oracle, and supports Kubernetes, Red Hat OpenShift, Amazon EKS, Amazon ECS, Azure AKS, Google GKE, Oracle OKE, Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP), RKE2, and K3S — in the cloud or on-prem. This lets Kubex manage resources across clusters, namespaces, and individual containers.

### How is Kubex deployed?

Kubex is Helm deployed and SaaS delivered. It collects metrics via Prometheus and cloud-provider instrumentation (the Enterprise plan can also ingest third-party observability metrics), and you interact with it through a UI, CLI, or MCP interface.

### What is Kubex's Kubernetes Resource Optimization?

Kubex's Kubernetes Resource Optimization is an AI-driven analytics platform that automates the optimization of Kubernetes resources. It removes manual guesswork by producing precise, actionable recommendations for container and node resource settings, and can apply approved changes automatically.

### How does Kubex ensure safe, production-grade optimization?

Kubex is built for governed automation. Recommendations can be executed automatically through its Automation Controller within strict policy guardrails that respect maintenance windows and approval workflows, so changes remain audit-compliant even in production. It surfaces top-ranked risk and waste issues and lets teams share findings via deep links to specific data.

### What support is included?

All plans include support via Email, Slack, or Live.
