Upgrading Plans
:::info Engagement model Paid plans are engagement-led rather than self-serve per-seat billing. Production deployments (including the High-Assurance Gateway) are priced per enforcement point — not per seat — and begin with a scoped assessment and pilot. See Engagement & Pricing on the main site, or contact sales. :::

- Contact sales or request a briefing
- Scope the engagement with our team
- Your organization is upgraded by Containment.AI once the engagement begins
Upgrade to Enterprise
- Click Contact Sales
- Discuss your requirements
- Receive custom quote

Evaluations
There is no self-serve free trial. Evaluations of Professional features are arranged as scoped engagements:
