Deployed in production
Teams trust Spice to bring inference closer to their data, enabling low-latency, enterprise-grade AI across industries.
“Spice opened the door to take these critical control-plane datasets and move them next to our services in the runtime path."
Peter Janovsky
Software Architect, Twilio
“It just spins up and it just works, which is really nice. The responsiveness is amazing, which is a huge gain for the customer.”
Darin Douglass
Principal Software Engineer, Barracuda
"What I like the most about Spice is that it’s very easy to collect data from different data sources, and I’m able to interact with this data and do everything in one place."

FAQs
How pricing works in Spice for open-source, enterprise, and cloud deployments.
Is Spice available on AWS Marketplace?
Yes. Spice.ai Enterprise is available on AWS Marketplace, allowing teams to purchase and deploy Spice through their existing AWS billing and procurement workflows. This includes support for Private Offers, consolidated billing, and fast onboarding. Visit the AWS Marketplace listing here.
Is on-prem supported?
Yes. Spice is portable and can run on-prem in Kubernetes, VMs, or bare metal. Enterprises can also use private cloud deployments or hybrid models where acceleration and model serving run close to the application while governance is centralized.
How is Spice Cloud Enterprise different from the other offerings?
Enterprise Cloud provides a dedicated, multi-region, high-availability cluster with significantly higher compute, storage, and concurrency limits, as well as enterprise-grade features. Unlike the Developer and Pro tiers, Enterprise includes custom vCPU/memory configurations, persistent object storage, JDBC/ODBC support, 1024+ concurrent queries, commercial licensing and resale rights, and Premium 24/7 on-call support with a 99.9% SLA.
