Managed DevOps
Recurring monthly engineering capacity
Four standard monthly pools. The pool size sets one rate for every committed hour, and larger pools cost less per hour.
| Monthly hours | Monthly price | Rate for every hour |
|---|---|---|
| 10 | $5,000 | $500/hr |
| 20 | $9,000 | $450/hr |
| 40 | $16,000 | $400/hr |
| 80 | $28,000 | $350/hr |
6-, 12-, and 24-month terms save 5%, 10%, and 15%. Billed monthly in advance. Unused hours do not roll over.
All published prices are in U.S. dollars (USD). Current pricing for new Managed DevOps engagements as of July 17, 2026. Existing signed agreements keep their current terms unless amended in writing.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Why are Professional Services projects not priced on the website?
A landing zone, migration, pipeline, and modernization effort do not carry the same scope or risk. Each project is priced against the actual outcome and written scope.
Can we choose a monthly pool other than 10, 20, 40, or 80 hours?
Yes. Those are the standard pools, not fixed packages. Choose any whole-hour amount starting at 10; the pool size selects one rate for the full pool (10–19 hours at $500/hr, 20–39 at $450/hr, 40–79 at $400/hr, and 80+ at $350/hr). For example, a 30-hour pool is 30 × $450/hour = $13,500/month before term savings. Each threshold lowers the rate for the whole pool. Pools of 18–19 hours cost at least as much each month as 20 hours, 36–39 hours at least as much as 40, and 70–79 hours at least as much as 80. Uptempo recommends the larger pool in those cases.
What do longer terms cost?
3 months at the standard price; 6 months saves 5%; 12 months saves 10%; and 24 months saves 15%. On the standard pools that is 10 hours: $4,750/month on the 6-month term, $4,500/month on the 12-month term, $4,250/month on the 24-month term; 20 hours: $8,550/month on the 6-month term, $8,100/month on the 12-month term, $7,650/month on the 24-month term; 40 hours: $15,200/month on the 6-month term, $14,400/month on the 12-month term, $13,600/month on the 24-month term; 80 hours: $26,600/month on the 6-month term, $25,200/month on the 12-month term, $23,800/month on the 24-month term.
What happens after the initial Managed DevOps term?
Renew into another 3-, 6-, 12-, or 24-month term, or the same committed hours continue month to month at that pool’s standard undiscounted rate: 10–19 hours at $500/hr, 20–39 at $450/hr, 40–79 at $400/hr, and 80+ at $350/hr. For example, 10 × $500/hour = $5,000/month; 80 × $350/hour = $28,000/month. Final renewal and notice terms are stated in the signed agreement.
How are additional hours billed?
Approved current-month additional hours require written approval and use the hourly rate in effect for the current pool and term, including any active fixed-term savings. During month-to-month continuation, they use the pool’s standard undiscounted rate. The monthly pool can instead be increased for a future cycle.
Does a Managed DevOps pool include a monthly review?
Yes, unless you opt out. Each month starts with a business-hours patch, backup, security, and cost review of the accounts named in your agreement, plus a written report. It uses at most 2 hours of a 10–19-hour pool, 4 of 20–39, 5 of 40–79, and 8 of 80 or more hours, taken from the pool at no extra charge, and unused review time goes back to the backlog. It is not monitoring or incident response.
Do unused monthly hours roll over?
No. The fee reserves the agreed engineering capacity for that month. The Jira backlog is planned together so the highest-priority work is ready to move.
