Shipping software into customer environments
Anyport vs Omnistrate
Omnistrate is the product on this page whose network model is closest to ours. They describe a secure, egress-only connectivity model requiring zero inbound firewall rules, which is the same posture Anyport takes, so reachability is not the difference here.
The difference is who the product is for. Omnistrate generates a private-label control plane that a software vendor puts their own name on, covering deployment, billing and operations across customer environments. Anyport is the console your team uses, with our name on it.
What both of them do
This much is common ground, so the table below is only about where they differ.
- An egress-only agent, so no inbound firewall rule is needed.
- Kubernetes in environments the control plane cannot reach directly.
- Deployments into infrastructure the vendor does not own.
Where they differ
The short answer first, and the detail underneath it where the short answer would otherwise mislead.
| Omnistrate | Anyport | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Omnistrate A private-label control plane A vendor ships it on to their own customers. | Anyport A control plane your team uses Directly, with our name on it. |
| Runtime | Omnistrate Kubernetes Across BYOC, on-premises and air-gapped environments. | Anyport Kubernetes Anyport can install k3s on a bare machine if you do not have a cluster. |
| Whose brand is on it | Omnistrate Yours That is the product. | Anyport Ours There is no white-label option. |
| How it reaches your infrastructure | Omnistrate Egress-only Documented as requiring zero inbound firewall rules. | Anyport Your cluster connects out The agent dials us and holds one connection open. |
| Air-gapped installs | Omnistrate Supported | Anyport Not supported The agent needs a route out to reach the control plane. |
| Billing your customers | Omnistrate Part of the platform | Anyport Not built Anyport does not meter or bill anyone's customers. |
| Price | Omnistrate Not published A free start and a demo request. | Anyport Free today Up to 10 private and 20 public clusters. Compute is never metered. |
| Compliance | Omnistrate Aimed at enterprise distribution Built for procurement requirements. | Anyport Not certified yet Controls are published in full on the security page instead. |
What Omnistrate is
Taken from their own documentation, read on 4 September 2026.
Omnistrate builds a private-label enterprise control plane for ISVs and AI infrastructure companies, automating customer deployments, infrastructure management, billing and operations.
It covers BYOC in a customer's VPC, on-premises data centres, and air-gapped environments.
Its connectivity model is documented as secure and egress-only, requiring zero inbound firewall rules.
Pricing is not published on their site. There is a free start and a demo request.
Choose Omnistrate if
- You are turning your software into a service your customers buy, and you need billing and a control plane with your name on it.
- You need air-gapped support, which Anyport does not have.
- You want a managed service offering built from your existing application, rather than a place to deploy it.
Choose Anyport if
- The clusters are yours to operate, not a product surface you are selling.
- You want one console over your own fleet, with roles and an audit log, rather than a platform to resell.
- You want to start today on a free tier and see whether the model works before talking to anyone.
Questions
- Is Anyport a white-label platform?
- No. There is no white-label or private-label option. Your team signs in to Anyport, and your customers do not see it.
- Do Anyport and Omnistrate use the same connectivity model?
- The posture is the same. Both are egress-only and require no inbound firewall rules. Outbound-only agents are not rare, which is why our claim is stated as the requirement we do not impose rather than as a first-place finish.
- What does Anyport require of a cluster?
- A Kubernetes cluster you can run one command against, or a bare Linux machine where Anyport installs k3s first. No inbound port, no public IP, no load balancer that can obtain one, and no kubeconfig handed to us. The agent opens a connection outward and holds it open.
- What does Anyport cost?
- Every feature is free today, for everyone on your team, on up to 10 private clusters and 20 public ones. Compute is never metered because it is not ours. The one counted resource is traffic our gateway carries for clusters with no public address of their own, with an allowance of 10 GiB a month.
- Is Anyport audited or certified?
- Not yet. In place of a report, the security page documents what the agent runs with inside your cluster, what crosses the boundary and how secrets are stored, so a reviewer can evaluate the controls directly. Two of them hold regardless of certification: we never receive credentials for your Kubernetes API, and your workloads keep serving whether or not our control plane is reachable.

If Anyport is the one you want
Connecting a cluster is one command and takes a few minutes. Everything is free today, and the pricing page lists the limits that are actually enforced rather than the ones a plan would imply.
