flat monthly fee · tied to your tier, never to traffic
Annual contract: $19,990/yr — equivalent to 10 months.
Infrastructure is billed by your cloud provider, not us — if you already run your own CDN, these costs may not apply. Turn on the switch above to include an estimate.
Responsive breakpoints
Generate ~5 transform variants per image. Multiplies transform credits by ~1.5× on the SaaS side. Kube's license stays flat.
Seasonal spike (Nov–Dec)
Applies a traffic multiplier to Nov and Dec. The SaaS bill spikes with traffic; Kube's license stays flat (only your CDN passes the extra through).
Traffic growth over 12 months
0% — no growth
Traffic you expect to add by month 12. SaaS scales linearly; Kube's license is fixed within your tier (your CDN passes through at cost).

Most enterprise image optimization platforms lock you into opaque, usage-based billing that scales against you — the more your traffic grows, the more you pay. Kube by ImageEngine is a model entirely different. It's the first self-hosted image optimization engine that runs inside your own infrastructure, giving you full ownership of your data, your pipeline, and your costs.
