PRICING
One edition. One number. Everything included.
SQL Server performance monitoring with cost optimization built in. There is one edition of WISdom, it contains the entire platform, and it is priced per server/host, with unlimited instances on each one. No tiers to compare, nothing held back for a bigger contract.
WISDOM FOR DATABASES
The complete platform
Billed annually
One (1) license covers any ONE of the following:
x1 Server or VM (Multiple Instances)
x1 PaaS Instance
x1 Failover Cluster Instance (Only Active Node)
x10 Azure SQL Databases
Your price is servers × $995, with unlimited instances on each. That is the whole formula.
WHAT YOU DON’T PAY EXTRA FOR
The price is the price
Most of what makes database monitoring expensive is not the license. It is everything bolted onto it. We took those off the table.
NO TIERS
No edition to upgrade to
There is no Pro, no Advanced, no “FinOps add-on.” Query cost attribution, capacity planning, forecasting, and anomaly detection are in the one edition. You cannot buy a better WISdom than the one you just bought.t.
NO LOCK-IN
No multi-year commitment
Annual term, no auto-renew trap, no notice period required. You are not signing a three-year agreement to get a reasonable rate, and you are not negotiating your way out of one in year two.
NO SETUP FEE
No install, no services attach
Agentless. Nothing is installed on your SQL Server instances, so there is no professional-services line item to get started and no change window to schedule.
NO SEAT COUNT
Your whole team can log in
Price is per server/host, not per user or per instance. The DBAs, the platform owner, and whoever asks for the cost report all get access.
NO QUOTE WALL
The price is on this page
You are reading it. You do not need a discovery call, a scoping questionnaire, or a rep on the phone to find out what WISdom costs.
NO SURPRISE
You can forecast it
Servers × $995 today, published on this page. You can size the number yourself instead of waiting for a quote to tell you what it became.

1
Count your servers
Pay $995/year for each server or host you want WISdom watching, and monitor unlimited SQL Server or Azure SQL instances on it. Monitor one server, monitor four hundred. There is no per-instance cap and no tier you age out of.
2
Get the whole platform
Every server gets the full feature set: monitoring, tuning, capacity, and cost. Nothing is gated behind a higher edition, because there isn’t one.
3
Scale as you grow
Add servers anytime. Agentless deployment means a new server is reporting in minutes, not after an install ticket clears change control.
ON EVERY SERVER
Everything WISdom does, included
One edition means the whole platform ships with every server you monitor. Find it, fix it, prove it, end to end.

WHAT IT COSTS VS WHAT IT FINDS
The license you reclaim pays for the platform
WISdom at $995 per server/host sits next to the SQL Server cores you can stop paying for once you can see which workload actually needed them.
Your estate
▲ WISdom = servers × $995/yr (unlimited instances per server). Core rates derive from Microsoft's published 2-core pack list, annualized. Illustrative, not a quote.
Per year
▲ Net = licensing you stop paying for, minus WISdom cost. One right-sized server often covers the year.
Pricing questions
What's included?
Everything. There is one edition: the complete WISdom for Databases platform. Monitoring, index and query tuning, ML anomaly detection, capacity planning, forecasting, migration analysis, and full cost attribution (query-level cost, chargeback and showback) all ship with every server you monitor. There are no tiers to compare and nothing is gated.
How is it priced?
$995 per monitored server/host, per year, billed annually, with unlimited SQL Server and Azure SQL instances on each. Your price is servers × $995.
What counts as a server/host?
One physical server or host machine running SQL Server or Azure SQL, connected to WISdom. All named instances on that host (including failover cluster members and availability-group replicas) are covered under the one license, at no extra per-instance charge.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. 30 days, no credit card, the full platform. Agentless deployment means you see your real workload in minutes.
Do I have to sign a multi-year contract?
No. Annual term, cancel anytime. If WISdom is not earning its keep you leave at renewal, and you do not have to give us three months’ notice to do it.
What happens at renewal?
You renew at the price then in effect for your server/host count. We publish our price on this page rather than quoting each renewal individually, so you can see it the same way a prospect does.
Do you offer volume pricing for large estates?
Book a demo and we will talk through a large estate.
How is WISdom different from other SQL Server monitoring tools?
Monitoring tools tell you something is slow. WISdom ranks your worst-performing queries by what they cost, shows you the fix in the code, and puts a dollar figure on it: the number you hand Finance, not metrics they can’t read. That is SQL Server performance monitoring with cost optimization built in. Learn more here.
