The pricing is affordable; it's cheap. The licensing process is not as high compared to IBM API Connect or Apigee. It is the most cost-effective option among them

The licensing was a very strong part of this offer. Licensing is per account, but again, we still, need to understand a little bit about how the record licenses work. They were going with the licenses for this integration platform coming as an add-on for the OpenShift licensing. It's in addition to it. Even though there was an option to purchase them independently. We didn't look at this option because we needed more licensing on OpenShift anyways. So it was an add-on for an OpenShift, and it was something very nice. The cost was around $45,000 per year. That was pretty good considering the functionality and considering capability that they have because there is one more product that's a pretty strong product as well, which is called AMQ for asynchronous messaging. This is a product we do use and have used before as an independent product. The cost does not include the internal resources that are required for OpenShift to be run successfully for the 3scale API Management. That's another thing and when you combine those two, then it becomes a much, much less interesting, and much more costly proposition.
3scale API Management has reasonable pricing, judging from its competitor, Kong. My organization pays yearly for the 3scale API Management license, though I'm unable to give the exact figure because every single day there are new clusters deployed. I'm in charge of three to four clusters in my team, but give or take, it costs a few thousand lakhs.

I rate the product’s pricing as two out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive.

I don't think that 3scale is very expensive.
