Included with Portainer Business Edition
Portainer-Run, Portainer-Command and Portainer-AiGrid are add-ons to Portainer Business Edition, so there is nothing extra to buy for any of them. You license Portainer Business, based on the nodes Portainer manages and the support level you need, and all three add-ons come with it.
One license: Portainer Business Edition
What you pay for
Portainer Business Edition, in the Starter, Scale or Enterprise bracket that fits you. The brackets differ by the maximum number of nodes they cover and by the level of support. Compare the brackets →
What is included
All three add-ons, unlimited builders and viewers for Portainer-Run, and bundled KubeSolo or Talos Linux if you want us to bring the Kubernetes. Air-gapped environments are supported. Bringing your own Kubernetes is equally valid.
What you do not pay for
Which add-ons you turn on, builders, viewers, deployed applications, or deployments per month. None of them change the price.
One contract
One quote, one contract, one renewal, and one support relationship, however many of the add-ons you use.
The add-ons, and the nodes behind each one
Your node count is the nodes Portainer manages, wherever the add-ons run.
Portainer-Run
The nodes in the clusters where your deployed apps run. Requires Portainer Business 2.44 or later.
Portainer-Command
The nodes in the environments where you enable AI agent access.
Portainer-AiGrid
The KubeSolo host that runs the appliance, plus each participating workstation, which counts as a node.
Start free with up to 3 nodes
Portainer Business is free for up to 3 nodes with the add-ons included, so a full Portainer-Run or Portainer-Command environment can be stood up without a purchase.
Pricing questions, answered directly
How much do the AI products cost?
Nothing on their own. Portainer-Run, Portainer-Command and Portainer-AiGrid are add-ons included with Portainer Business Edition. You pay for Portainer Business, in the Starter, Scale or Enterprise bracket that fits the number of nodes Portainer manages and the support level you need. See the Portainer Business brackets →
Do we get one contract for all three products?
Yes. There is only one license to buy, so it is one quote, one contract, one renewal, and one support relationship.
Is there a free way to evaluate Portainer-Run and Portainer-Command?
Yes. Portainer Business is free for up to three nodes, add-ons included, so a full Portainer-Run or Portainer-Command environment can be stood up on your own lab or a small cluster without a purchase. This is Business Edition on a free tier, not Community Edition; Community Edition does not run add-ons. When you move past three nodes you stay on the same Business Edition and license the additional nodes, and the add-on, the manifests, and the Git target you set up carry across unchanged.
Is there a free trial for Portainer-AiGrid?
Not as a self-serve download. It is evaluated under a commercial trial that we scope during a briefing, because standing it up meaningfully involves enrolling real workstations. The evaluation runs on your infrastructure, and the license you buy afterwards is Portainer Business Edition on the nodes it runs on.
What support do I get?
Support depends on the Portainer Business bracket you choose. The add-ons are supported as part of your Portainer Business license, so there is no separate support contract for them. See what each bracket includes →
What if we want you to bring the Kubernetes cluster too?
Ask for the bundled option. We deploy either KubeSolo (for a single-node appliance) or Talos Linux (for a cluster) as part of the installation, and support for that Kubernetes distribution is included in the license. Bringing your own cluster is equally supported and does not change the price shape.
Are the add-ons supported in air-gapped environments?
Yes. Portainer Business runs in regulated, distributed, and air-gapped environments across the Fortune 2000, and every add-on inherits that support. Deployment specifics vary by product; talk to us and we will walk through your environment.

We will size the node count with you, scope a quote, and set up a live demo around your environment.
