A big reason we chose HiveMQ is that we can run HiveMQ everywhere: AWS, Google, Azure, really on any cloud or on-premise. We can run HiveMQ on top of OpenShift or Kubernetes. There is no vendor lock-in with HiveMQ and we aren’t forced to send our data to a single vendor’s platform. The ability to run HiveMQ on-premise or on customer-provided infrastructure is also an important requirement. HiveMQ gives us this freedom.

Enterprise pricing is based on capacity, primarily concurrent connections and message throughput.This gives smaller teams a simple self-service path, while larger deployments can be priced based on their specific requirements.
HiveMQ pricing is based on capacity, primarily connections and message throughput, rather than fixed infrastructure-only limits. This approach aligns cost with actual usage and helps teams scale deployments without redesigning their architecture as demand grows.
Sizing depends on concurrent connections and message throughput. If you are unsure, you can start with Launch or Run or contact HiveMQ for a tailored recommendation. Launch is a good fit for earlier or lower-throughput production workloads, while Run is better suited for steadier production workloads that need higher throughput and customer support.
