Informat Pricing and Plans: Everything You Need to Know in 2026
Understanding the pricing structure of a low-code platform is essential for budgeting, ROI analysis, and making informed comparisons between alternatives. Informat's pricing model in 2026 reflects the platform's evolution from a departmental low-code tool to an enterprise-grade application development platform, with tiered plans that accommodate organizations ranging from small teams exploring low-code for the first time to large enterprises deploying hundreds of applications to thousands of users. This FAQ provides clear, detailed answers to the most common pricing and licensing questions that organizations ask when evaluating the Informat platform.
Platform Editions and Pricing
What editions of Informat are available?
Informat offers four editions in 2026: Starter (for small teams and proof-of-concept projects, includes core low-code development capabilities, up to 10 users, community support), Professional (for growing teams and departmental deployments, includes advanced development features, API access, up to 100 users, standard support), Enterprise (for organization-wide deployment, includes full governance and security capabilities, SSO, audit logging, unlimited users, priority support), and Enterprise Plus (for the most demanding enterprise requirements, includes dedicated infrastructure, customer-managed encryption keys, advanced compliance support, and a dedicated customer success manager). Most organizations begin with Professional or Enterprise, depending on their scale and governance requirements.
How is pricing structured — per user, per application, or something else?
Informat pricing is primarily per-user based, with different user types reflecting different levels of platform access: Builder licenses (for users who create and modify applications), User licenses (for users who access applications built on the platform), and API-only access (for integration and automation scenarios that do not require interactive user access). Builder licenses are the primary cost driver; User licenses are priced at a fraction of Builder licenses. This structure ensures that costs scale with the number of people creating applications rather than the number of people using them — making it economical to deploy Informat-built applications to large user populations.
Are there additional costs beyond the per-user license?
The per-user license includes the core platform capabilities — development environment, runtime execution, standard integrations, basic support. Additional costs may apply for: premium connectors (to specific enterprise systems like SAP, Oracle EBS, or mainframe data sources), advanced AI capabilities (beyond the AI features included in each edition), additional API call volume beyond plan limits, dedicated infrastructure (for Enterprise Plus customers requiring isolated environments), and professional services (training, implementation support, custom development). Informat provides a total cost of ownership calculator that estimates all-in costs for specific deployment scenarios, and enterprise agreements typically bundle many of these additional costs into a predictable annual fee.
Licensing and Contract Terms
What are the typical contract terms?
Starter and Professional editions are available on monthly or annual contracts, with annual commitments receiving a discount. Enterprise and Enterprise Plus editions are annual contracts, with multi-year agreements available for organizations seeking price predictability and additional discounts. All editions include a 30-day trial period for initial evaluation.
Can we start small and scale up?
Yes — this is the most common adoption pattern. Organizations typically begin with a Professional edition deployment for a specific team or use case, demonstrate value, and expand to Enterprise as adoption grows across the organization. Edition upgrades preserve all existing applications, data, and configurations — there is no migration required when moving between editions. The pricing model is designed to support this "land and expand" adoption pattern, with entry-level pricing that enables low-risk initial deployment and enterprise pricing that remains economical at scale.
Conclusion
Informat's pricing model in 2026 is designed to align cost with value — you pay for the capability to build and the users who build, not for the applications built or the users who use them. This structure encourages broad application deployment and high end-user adoption, both of which drive platform ROI. For organizations evaluating the platform, the recommended approach is to start with a clearly defined initial use case, begin with the edition that fits your current scale, and expand as adoption and value grow. Informat's pricing supports this journey — and the ROI that enterprises are reporting suggests that the investment is well-justified.
