Customers can purchase a $5,000 annual license to run our models on infrastructure they control without the complexity of a custom enterprise agreement. To purchase our self-serve on-prem offering, log in to your Datalab account (sign up here) and visit the Subscription tab The license comes with:
  • Docker image for easy-to-run, single-GPU deployments.
  • Faster inference so you can achieve up to 20 pages/sec on an H100.
  • 12 months of updates with new functionality, bug fixes, and security updates.
  • Priority email support during business hours.
  • Commercial license for use in your product or services (without sublicensing)
  • One running instance, with up to two additional instances for $1,500 each.
  • 50,000 pages per month, with higher volumes available.
  • Self-serve checkout via Stripe for instance access.
When you purchase a license, you will get:
  • A license key: required to run the image.
  • A Google Cloud service account key: required to pull the image.
Running instances of the container must be able to reach https://www.datalab.to to start. They will send usage data at regular intervals, detailed here.

What’s the difference between Open Source and Datalab’s paid On-Prem options?

Our free open-source options (Marker and Surya) are ideal for research, personal use, and early-stage startups. The self-serve on-prem plan is a mid-tier option for lighter implementations that want a commercial license and simple deployment without heavy enterprise contracts. Enterprise is for teams that need scale, customization, and SLAs. Here’s a more detailed breakdown.
