Control Cluster Ladder

Control's pricing is a ladder keyed to cluster count, and agencies should price client engagements against the rung they actually occupy. The Free tier covers 1 cluster, 2 endpoints and 3 watched tables with 7 days of history, which is enough to prove value on a single client database before any invoice changes hands. Small at $99/mo lifts you to 5 clusters, 25 watched tables each and 31 days of history, so a five-client book of single-cluster accounts fits one subscription. Medium at $349/mo reaches 20 clusters, and the top tier runs to $749/mo. The framework: count client clusters first, map that count to a rung, then set the monitoring retainer above the subscription cost. An agency watching 18 client databases on Medium at $349/mo can bill a $399/mo Control Starter Watch per client and keep the spread, while the single status per database (serving, near limit, down, unreachable) keeps delivery hours near 2h/mo.
