Custom Container Calculator
Why pay to secure every individual container image running in your business when there is heavy overlap between the software inside them? Unlike other secure container offerings that charge per image, pay only for the open-source components you need and re-use them infinitely across container images. Try our calculator to see how your cost per image decreases as you scale.
$18K for 100 managed components.
Components include any unique piece of software.
Build unlimited container images from your component pool.
The component pool is shared across tech stacks.

FAQs
Which ActiveState container offering is right for my use case?
For organizations seeking end-to-end container security from the base layer to their application dependencies, secure custom containers offer a fully managed service that offloads container management and maintenance from your organization to ActiveState.
What counts as a “component” when pricing a custom container?
Components are any unique piece of software within a container image including: languages, libraries, packages, and dependencies. Pay only for the components your team requires and re-use them infinitely, across tech stacks and container images.
Do you support older versions of container images and open-source technologies?
Yes, custom container customers who do not want to use the “latest” version of a container image or piece of technology may request a build around the version they are currently using in production. Some exceptions apply (e.g., containers containing components past their end of life) – additional fees apply to support EOL languages.
Do ActiveState container images comply with any specific compliance standards?
Yes, for organizations that need to meet specific compliance requirements (ex, SOC 2, FIPS), custom images can be built to meet defined standards on request. There is no additional charge above the per-component fee for this service.
Do you only provide open source in containers?
No, ActiveState’s secure catalog of over 40 million secure OSS components can be packaged for various deployment methods.
