Cost at 10, 50 and 200 users#
The calculations below use NordLayer’s published monthly prices and assume 12 months. They do not include applicable taxes or the required Dedicated IP server charge for Core and Premium.
| Plan | 10 users | 50 users | 200 users |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lite, annual price | $8 x 10 users x 12 months = $960 | $8 x 50 users x 12 months = $4,800 | $8 x 200 users x 12 months = $19,200 |
| Core, annual price | $11 x 10 users x 12 months = $1,320 | $11 x 50 users x 12 months = $6,600 | $11 x 200 users x 12 months = $26,400 |
| Premium, annual price | $14 x 10 users x 12 months = $1,680 | $14 x 50 users x 12 months = $8,400 | $14 x 200 users x 12 months = $33,600 |
| Enterprise offer, starting price | Not applicable below 200 users | Not applicable below 200 users | $6 x 200 users x 12 months = $14,400 |
| Lite, monthly price | $10 x 10 users x 12 months = $1,200 | $10 x 50 users x 12 months = $6,000 | $10 x 200 users x 12 months = $24,000 |
| Core, monthly price | $14 x 10 users x 12 months = $1,680 | $14 x 50 users x 12 months = $8,400 | $14 x 200 users x 12 months = $33,600 |
| Premium, monthly price | $18 x 10 users x 12 months = $2,160 | $18 x 50 users x 12 months = $10,800 | $18 x 200 users x 12 months = $43,200 |
NordLayer’s Enterprise offer says the price may vary if a higher plan or additional features are selected, so the $14,400 calculation is a starting-price calculation, not a guaranteed total. The annual prices and monthly prices come from NordLayer’s published pricing guide and pricing page: NordLayer pricing, NordLayer guide.
