Pricing
The biggest data costs rarely sit in the tooling itself. They sit in maintenance, outages and the hours engineers spend keeping custom solutions running. Yres replaces that complexity with a standardized Azure environment: predictable costs, less dependency, more control.
How the license works
A Yres license isn't billed per individual component; instead it defines how many source systems and how many environments you may set up. The package you choose fixes those two limits:
- Source systems — the number of data sources (SQL Server, Exact Online, AFAS, REST APIs, and so on) you may connect.
- Environments — the number of DTAP environments (for example
dev,test,production). The first environment is always called dev.
The license itself is tied to a single-use invitation link from Plainwater: linked to one Microsoft account, configured for the purchased package, and no longer usable after installation. The license is recorded in the database and caps usage according to the chosen package.

⭐ Advanced = most chosen.
The source systems / environments split per package (2 / 1 · 5 / 2 · unlimited / unlimited) is fixed in the license. Tables are not limited: these are configuration rows, not licensed objects.
Yres does not actively enforce feature gating at this time; the allocation above is the intended split and can be enforced via the license. Two specifics:
- The web application firewall is included in all packages.
- Site-to-site VPN is available at an additional cost; the exact price depends on your requirements — so it is not package-bound.
What's in each package?
Essentials
For small teams and starting environments. One environment, a maximum of two source systems, and an unlimited number of tables. Local networks are reachable via a self-hosted integration runtime.
Advanced ⭐
The most chosen package. In addition to a second environment — so you can safely keep developing on dev without touching existing dashboards in production — you get access to the changes system, automatic scaling of databases and the web application firewall.
Ultimate
For large, complex environments: an unlimited number of source systems and environments, plus the option of a site-to-site VPN (at an additional cost) for isolated networks.
Frequently asked pricing questions
What's the difference between Essentials and Advanced? With Essentials you work in a single environment. Advanced gives you a separate development and production environment, so you can safely keep developing without touching existing dashboards. According to the current (still to be confirmed) tier breakdown, the changes system and automatic scaling are also reserved for Advanced and Ultimate.
Do we need at least a dev and a production environment? The first environment is always called dev and is mandatory. A second environment (for example production) comes with Advanced and higher; Essentials offers only one environment. For larger teams we generally recommend two to four environments.
Can we scale up later? Yes. You can move to a larger package at any time. We handle the migration without your environment going offline.
Scaling happens without downtime. Running queries may experience brief disruption, though.
Do our data and pipelines run on your infrastructure? By default, no: Yres runs within your own Azure tenant and your data never leaves your environment. Yres never has direct access to your sources, and your processes keep working even if you stop using Yres — there is no vendor lock-in.
