Plans and Upgrades
Kupe Cloud plans define four main things:
- the monthly platform fee
- the total resource pool available to the tenant
- the included observability allowance
- the maximum number of managed clusters
The compute unit rates stay the same across plans. What changes is the size of the pool and the amount included before overage applies.

Enterprise uses custom tenant-specific configuration rather than preset limits.
How plan changes work
Section titled “How plan changes work”In the console, open Billing and select Change Plan.
- upgrades take effect immediately
- downgrades are checked against your current cluster count and allocated resources
- if current usage exceeds the target plan, you need to scale down first
- Enterprise is handled as a custom plan and routes through contact with the Kupe team
What changes when you upgrade
Section titled “What changes when you upgrade”An upgrade gives you a larger pool and a larger included observability allowance right away. It does not require recreating clusters.
What changes when you downgrade
Section titled “What changes when you downgrade”A downgrade reduces the pool and allowance available to the tenant. Existing allocations are checked first so the platform does not allow a downgrade that would leave you above the target plan limits.
Billing impact
Section titled “Billing impact”Plan changes can affect the current billing period. Kupe tracks this and shows a prorated estimate when a plan changes inside the current billing window.
