Kemp LoadMaster Pricing FAQ

01 What licensing options does Kemp LoadMaster offer?

Kemp offers four licensing models: Perpetual (one-time purchase with annual support), Subscription (annual licenses at 1 Gbps, 5 Gbps, or Max), Pay-as-you-go (hourly billing on AWS/Azure), and Service Provider (monthly per-instance for MSPs). Choose based on your deployment needs and budget preferences.

02 How does Kemp pricing compare to F5 and NGINX?

Kemp is generally positioned as a cost-effective alternative to F5 BIG-IP, with subscriptions starting at $1,990/year vs F5's $5,000+ entry point. It's more expensive than NGINX Plus ($2,500/year) but includes more out-of-box enterprise features. Kemp emphasizes value and feature completeness at lower price points.

03 What's included in LoadMaster subscriptions?

Annual subscriptions include the virtual LoadMaster instance at specified throughput (1G, 5G, or Max), full load balancing capabilities, SSL offloading, content switching, and 24/7 support. Higher tiers include additional features like GSLB, WAF, and ESP. All updates and patches are included.

04 Is there a free version of LoadMaster?

Kemp offers a free trial period for evaluation purposes. For permanent free usage, there's a limited LoadMaster Free Edition available for testing and small deployments, but production use requires a paid subscription or perpetual license with support.

05 When should I choose PAYG vs subscription pricing?

Choose PAYG ($0.29+/hour on cloud) for variable workloads, testing, or temporary deployments where you want no commitment. Choose subscription ($1,990+/year) for production workloads running 24/7—the break-even is around 250-300 hours/month. Subscriptions offer predictable costs and better value for always-on services.
