Directus Hosting Without the $15,000 Enterprise Price Tax
Stop overpaying for managed Directus. Get full root database access, automatic maintenance, and total data ownership for a fraction of the cost of official cloud. Perfect for founders who need high performance without the SaaS tax.
Why Smart Teams Choose Opsily for Directus
Directus is a powerful data platform, but official cloud plans can be restrictive. We give you the freedom of self-hosting with the convenience of a managed service.
Full Root Database Access
Official cloud providers often lock you out of your own SQL database. This makes complex migrations and direct queries impossible. With Opsily, you keep full control. It is your data on your terms. Use any external tool or script you want without permission from a vendor.
Automatic Updates and Patches
Self-hosting does not have to be a chore. We handle the versioning, security patches, and infrastructure maintenance. You focus on building your app while we ensure your Directus instance is running the latest stable release. No more manual CLI updates or broken dependencies on a Sunday night.
Predictable Pricing, No Seat Tax
Most SaaS platforms charge per user or per seat. That cost scales faster than your revenue. We charge for the server, not the people using it. Add as many admins, editors, and viewers as you need. Stop worrying about your bill every time you hire a new team member.
Built for teams who need reliability

Directus Hosting FAQ
Directus uses the BSL 1.1 license. It is completely free for organizations with less than $5,000,000 in total annual revenue and fewer than 50 employees. If you meet these criteria, you only pay for the hosting server. There are no additional license fees to use the full power of the software. This makes it an ideal choice for startups and mid-market companies who want to avoid the high costs of SaaS platforms.
