"Cloud Hosted" vs "Self Hosted" MIDAS booking system comparison

Our "self hosted" (on-premises) edition allows you to download, install, and run MIDAS locally from your own network/server. Be sure to check out the Server requirements for this edition of our booking system.

If you do not wish to download, install, and run MIDAS on your own infrastructure, or do not have the necessary infrastructure/knowledge to facilitate this, we offer a "cloud hosted" edition. A "cloud hosted" MIDAS system runs on our infrastructure, ready for you to use "out of the box" and is accessible though you own dedicated MIDAS subdomain, i.e. https://your_organization.mid.as

Pricing Comparison

• Our cloud-hosted edition is subscription based, and is available on either a 'per month' or an 'annual subscription'. An annual subscription works out more cost effective over the course of a year than subscribing month to month.
• Our self-hosted edition is a 'perpetual' software license (one time payment). A support subscription is also offered with self-hosted editions annually, but this is entirely optional.
