Every cloud service is generally cheaper than maintaining your own data center. I'm not sure how one can compare the pricing model in isolation without comparing features with other cloud service providers. Whether you opt for a pay-as-you-go model or pay only for the resources you use and discard as needed, the payment method is secondary. What truly matters is the flexibility offered. For a more comprehensive understanding, it's advisable to use FinOps-type applications for further study, as they provide a clearer financial picture. If you're not using Oracle Linux or Oracle Solaris and are only interested in applications, then it may be worth exploring alternative options. Oracle excels in providing support for third-party systems.
The product’s pricing is reasonable compared to other tools in the market. We pay a yearly subscription. Our clients mainly pay the initial license cost and the yearly subscription fee.
The solution is expensive according to services and competition. Also, it is not prevalent in the market. I rate the solution’s pricing a seven on a scale of ten, where ten is expensive, and one is cheap.
The solution is expensive. I would rate the pricing as ten out of ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive. There are no additional costs involved in Oracle Cloud Platform other than the licensing fees.

Oracle Cloud Platform is a bit costly. You can always bring your own license or subscribe to the SaaS option, but the SaaS option is very costly. I rate the pricing a six out of ten.

Oracle is a software accessory service that we have a user subscription for. For example, we require the project planning license, which is a user based license. Considering the license required, the country and the versions, we chose the prepaid option.

The best aspect of the Oracle Cloud Platform is the relation between the performance and the price. When you compare the price with Amazon AWS, Microsft Azure, or any other, the price for performance is the best. There are plenty of license options. For example, you can license the solution by the user, CPU, fixed period, and on-demand. The options are similar to Amazon AWS.
On a monthly basis, we pay around $2,500 for licensing fees, with no additional costs. We do pay extra licensing for other on-premises solutions, but these are not related to Oracle Cloud Platform.
The model is basically if you aren't using the solution you won't have to pay. We can turn off the machines if we don't need them and we won't keep incurring bills. The solution seems to offer pretty competitive pricing. We haven't found it overly expensive. It's very competitive in comparison to other options.

We're looking at a pay-as-you-go option for licensing. Ultimately, we're likely to pay monthly. In terms of comparing the solution to Azure, the pricing is pretty competitive.

I don't have that much information about pricing because I'm not at that level to know. It's not that expensive. I think it's maybe half or one-fourth of our actual on-prem cost, especially in Oracle Data Integrator. It's pretty cheap. Maybe around $30,000 or $40,000 per month.

OCP is good, not too expensive. Based on the need you can say that there are other good options for people who can go with less time and other approaches to the services. Both pricing and licensing are affordable with the Oracle Cloud Platform.
