Pricing has two components

• Arraylake: platform fee (monthly charge), which depends on team size, deployment configuration, and enterprise integrations
• Flux: usage based pricing based on volume of data queried

We tailor a proposal specifically to your team’s requirements. We offer discounted pricing for non-profits, academic users, and small startups. Please contact sales to help us prepare a proposal for you!

The Earthmover Platform uses a hybrid architecture where data live in your cloud (or on prem) while services run in our cloud.

Arraylake

• Data can live
  • in your own cloud storage bucket in your own cloud (including an on-prem S3-compatible bucket). See our full list of storage integrations in our docs.
  • in Earthmover-managed storage
  • The Arraylake backend service (catalog and authorization API) lives in Earthmover’s cloud and is deployed in AWS US-East-1.

Flux

• The flux service lives in Earthmover’s cloud and is currently deployed in AWS US-East-1. Flux connects to data in your Arraylake account and accesses your buckets directly.

Multi-region and multi-cloud deployment of Flux is on our roadmap.

• We do not currently have a free tier. If you’re interested in exploring our technology but aren’t ready for a commercial solution, please check out Icechunk! It’s 100% free and open source.
• If you’re interested in an evaluation of our platform, please contact sales. We’ll be happy to arrange a trial period which allows you to get hands on with the platform.

We believe that the best data formats, algorithms, and analysis libraries should and inevitably will be free and open source. Advancing open source is built into the mission of our company, and Earthmover helps lead development of many of the key open-source libraries in the Scientific Python ecosystem including Xarry, Zarr and Icechunk (which we created in 2024).

We’ve learned from experience that wiring together many open-source libraries to create a full cloud data platform is a difficult and time-consuming task for data scientists. That’s where the Earthmover Platform comes in. Our platform complements the open-source ecosystem by solving complex infrastructure problems like authentication & authorization, maintenance of long-term state, integration between system components, continuous deployment and monitoring of services, automation of background processes, cybersecurity, etc. Our best-in-class support (from the leading maintainers of open-source libraries like Xarray) and SLA offer peace-of-mind which the largest and most ambitious companies can rely on. This frees our customers to focus on wh

We understand that no one wants to take on an irreversible dependency on a software vendor. Our demonstrated commitment to open source and open standards ensures that Earthmover customers will always have a viable migration path off our platform and back to a self-managed data infrastructure. We created Icechunk to provide our customers with the guarantee that they will always have the freedom and flexibility to directly access their own data in their own storage—even after they leave the platform.

Earthmover implements state-of-the-art cybersecurity practices, including:

• End-to-end encryption for data in transit and at rest
• OAuth2-based authenticatio
• Regular security patches and vulnerability assessments
• Secure API endpoints with rate limiting and authentication
• Regular backup and disaster recovery procedures
• Cross-account private network access (available to enterprise customers)

We are currently in the process of obtaining SOC2 certification.

We pride ourselves on the quality of support we offer. We are experts in the entire scientific Python stack and can work closely with you to optimize your end-to-end workflows.

All our customers may receive support via our community Slack.

Enterprise customers may

• receive priority support via private channels
• obtain custom implementation, data ingestion, and system design services

Yes, we offer an industry-standard SLA with an uptime guarantee.
