Mogenius review

Mogenius charges per node, and node price from €350 is the starting figure on its plan. There is no free control plane in the package, so the control plane is a separate line. Budget for both, and expect a full cluster to cost more than the starting node price.

No. The free control plane is not included, which is the clearest difference from Cloudsmith and Red Hat OpenShift, both of which offer one. On Mogenius you pay for the control plane on top of node price from €350 for the nodes, so the first bill sits above a free-control-plane setup.

The limit is 10 nodes. That ceiling suits a single team, and it keeps the node bill predictable at node price from €350 per node. Work that needs to grow past that has to look elsewhere or be split differently.

Support runs on email, phone and help centre. That means email, phone and a help centre, so a blocked workload can be escalated by voice instead of waiting on a ticket. Teams that only want written answers still have the help centre to fall back on.

The provider is mogenius GmbH, based in Germany, and it was founded in 2020. That makes it a young company next to the established cloud vendors. Buyers who want an older counterparty on the contract should weigh that themselves.

Salad lists a node price from $0.015, well below node price from €350 on the Mogenius plan. On entry cost alone, Salad is cheaper. The two are not the same shape of product, so check what the entry figure actually buys.

It fits a team whose cluster fits inside 10 nodes and who want phone help as well as written support, since support runs on email, phone and help centre. It does not fit a team shopping mainly on the cheapest nodes, or one that needs the control plane included in the price.
