Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between Camunda SaaS and Self-Managed?
With SaaS, Camunda hosts and operates the platform for you — no infrastructure to set up. With Self-Managed, you install and run Camunda on your own infrastructure. Both let you start for free and move to a paid Enterprise tier for production.
Can I use Camunda Self-Managed for free?
Yes — Self-Managed is free for local development and non-production use. Any production deployment requires an Enterprise (Self-Managed) license.
How do I try Camunda SaaS?
Start free at accounts.camunda.io/signup. You get a 30-day trial of full process execution, plus free, unlimited modeling that continues after the trial. To keep executing in production, talk to sales about Enterprise (SaaS).
Will I be billed during my 30-day SaaS trial?
No. Your trial is free for 30 days and any usage during it is never billed, during or after. When it ends you can keep a free account limited to BPMN/DMN modeling, or move to Enterprise (SaaS).
How do I get a quote for Enterprise?
Talk to sales and we will get back to you shortly. This applies to both Enterprise (SaaS) and Enterprise (Self-Managed).
Where is Camunda SaaS hosted?
Camunda 8 SaaS Console and Modeler components are hosted in the EU. Clusters can be created in other regions per the list in our documentation.
