Worked example: 50-employee SaaS startup

Acme Cloud Co. (illustrative example, not a real company) is a 50-employee SaaS company with $6M annual revenue, running 80 Linux servers, 12 databases and 3 Kubernetes clusters.

Eligibility for Community EditionYes (under 100 emp, under $10M rev)

Self-hosting operational cost (estimate)2 SRE x 5% time approx 200 hrs/yr

Cash cost$0 licence, engineering time only

Once the startup hits either 100 employees or $10M annual revenue, a commercial conversion to Teleport Enterprise is required mid-budget cycle. That conversation is quote-only and we do not publish an inferred rate.

What Teleport is good at

Ephemeral certificates. No long-lived vaulted credentials; access is granted via short-TTL X.509 certs. Strong fit for engineering teams.
Cloud-native infrastructure. First-class SSH, Kubernetes, AWS, GCP coverage. Particularly strong for SRE / platform teams.
Free at small scale. Community Edition removes the procurement friction at the founding-team stage.

What to watch on Teleport contracts

Community Edition cap. Crossing 100 employees or $10M revenue triggers commercial conversion. Most fast-growing startups cross both within 12 months of a Series A.
SAML/SSO is Enterprise-only. Most regulated buyers need SSO on day one, which forces an immediate upgrade to Enterprise.
Audit log forwarding to SIEM and advanced session recording typically also gate on Enterprise.

Compare Teleport to alternatives

Teleport vs StrongDM: open-source vs SaaS zero-trust infrastructure access.
HashiCorp Boundary: also open-source, paired well with Vault.
CyberArk: enterprise PAM leader, quote-only.
