FlexDaaS
ROI Calculator

See how much you spend on Citrix licenses nobody uses, and what paying only for active users each month with Altanora FlexDaaS pay-as-you-go licensing could save.

How Does Pay-as-You-Go Citrix Licensing Save Money?

With a traditional Citrix subscription, you pay for every licensed user all year, whether they log in or not. Altanora FlexDaaS bills monthly for the users who actually use Citrix, so shelfware, seasonal staff and headcount changes stop costing you. There's no multi-year commitment, and you can scale up or down each month.

Enter your licensed users, how many are really active and what you pay per user today. Learn how FlexDaaS works →

Estimate Your Licensing Savings

Your licenses today

Your subscription or renewal cost divided by licensed users. Use your own number.

Check Citrix Director or your license server for peak and average usage.

Pay-as-you-go

Set this from your FlexDaaS quote. 100% means the same per-user rate, billed only for active users.

Traditional subscriptions often require buying ahead of growth. Enter 0 if headcount is stable.

Get a FlexDaaS Quote

Estimate only, for planning purposes, not a quote. FlexDaaS pricing depends on the services and users you choose, and Altanora confirms it in a quote.

How the Calculator Works

A transparent model. Change any input and the results update instantly.

1. Traditional licensing

Licensed users times your annual cost per user. Users who don't log in during an average month are shown as licenses not used.

2. FlexDaaS pay-as-you-go

Average active users times your per-user cost, adjusted by the FlexDaaS rate you set from your quote. Licenses bought ahead of planned growth are counted as avoided for half a year on average, since FlexDaaS scales monthly.

What it leaves out

Infrastructure savings from hosting with Altanora, and the admin time spent on license true-ups and renewals, aren't counted, which keeps the estimate conservative.

FlexDaaS ROI FAQ

What is Altanora FlexDaaS?

Altanora FlexDaaS is pay-as-you-go Citrix licensing, billed monthly for the users who actually use Citrix, with no multi-year commitment. It's Altanora's plan, separate from Citrix Platform Flex.

How much can pay-as-you-go Citrix licensing save?

It depends on how many licensed users are active. If 70% of your licensed users are active in an average month, paying only for active users at the same per-user rate cuts license spend by about 30%.

Is FlexDaaS the same as Citrix Platform Flex?

No. Citrix Platform Flex is Citrix's credit-based program for Citrix-managed services such as DaaS Flex. Altanora FlexDaaS is Altanora's monthly pay-as-you-go plan. Compare Citrix licensing options →

How do I find my active Citrix users?

Citrix Director and the Citrix license server show concurrent and unique users over time. Altanora can run a free license usage review to find your real active user count.

Can I switch to FlexDaaS before my renewal?

Often, yes, depending on your current agreement. Altanora reviews your renewal date and entitlements and plans the move so you don't pay twice.
