Calculate your potential savings over five years. Compare your current identity licensing costs with Midships Keycloak, deployed on premises in your own environment, with no charge per identity or device.
Enter what you pay each year in identity licence fees, or work it out from your billable identity and device volumes. Example figures are prefilled and can be edited.
Adjust to see the effect of future identity and device growth on your licence cost.
Enter the amount you pay separately for 24×7 operational support today. The example is $500,000 per year. Enter zero if it is already included in your licence or you do not buy it.
Current comparison: $400,000 annual Accelerator subscription, without Midships managed operations or incumbent support.
The comparison starts with the indicative $400,000 annual enterprise Accelerator subscription only. Managed operations are optional. A fixed $625,000 migration allowance is included in Year 1. Prices assume the same agreed deployment scope over five years, with final terms subject to assessment. All figures exclude applicable taxes.
Midships does not charge per active identity, inactive identity or device. Subscription scope depends on the agreed deployment.
Our target is no changes to consuming channels and zero downtime, subject to technical validation of compatibility and migration design.
Our standard terms cap any increase in recurring Midships fees at renewal at 15%, for the same scope and service levels, as written into your contract. Red Hat subscriptions and other third party charges are excluded.
Keycloak 26.6 added experimental support for acting as an authorisation server for MCP. The Accelerator takes agent and service identities to production: agent clients defined as code and promoted through the same audited pipelines as every other change, and ready to integrate with a Persona Registry that holds each agent’s authority and accountability.
Compare your existing licence costs with Midships Keycloak, first at current volumes and then with annual growth.
Year 1 indicative Accelerator and migration: $1,025,000. Compare with your current annual licensing expenditure, before excluded costs or concurrent vendor charges.
Existing platform costs assume fixed per identity/device unit rates, selected support scope and proportionate growth in billable populations. Midships recurring charges are held at their starting level solely for illustration. See exclusions below.
| Year | Existing included costs / no growth | Existing included costs / growth | Midships with migration |

All figures are indicative, in USD and exclude applicable taxes. They are not a quotation or an offer. This is an illustrative comparison of current licence charges with the selected Midships subscription, optional support and migration costs, not a complete total cost of ownership assessment or guaranteed savings. Midships charges no per identity or per device fees, but different regions or clusters can change the contracted subscription. The 15% renewal cap is a standard term that applies to Midships fees at renewal for the same contracted scope, and takes effect only as written in the executed agreement. Estimates are subject to architecture, technical feasibility, migration scope, contractual terms and validation of Red Hat entitlements. The 24×7 service price is a starting point and can be higher.
We assess compatibility, design the migration to avoid changes to consuming channels and target zero downtime. We can validate the five year business case including the costs outside this model. See our Keycloak approach ↗
