Anyport vs Omnistrate
Omnistrate
A private-label control plane
A vendor ships it on to their own customers.
What it is
Anyport
A control plane your team uses
Directly, with our name on it.
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.
01Common ground
What both of them do
This much both products do, 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.

03The decision
Which one to choose
Each list is written to be true. If the first one describes you, the better product is theirs.
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 free clusters with no trial clock, rather than a month's trial and then a price per deployment.
04In their words
What Omnistrate is
Taken from their own documentation and pricing.
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.
Its published pricing starts with Starter at 100 US dollars per active deployment a month, after a one-month free trial. Growth is priced by the vCPU-hour, and Enterprise is custom.
05Questions
Questions people ask
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. With no cluster at all, Anyport Cloud runs one for you on Pro, billed for what your apps use.
What does Anyport cost?
Three clusters are free with every feature and unlimited members, apps and projects. Pro is $5 a month with $5 of credit back each month; clusters past the free three are $2 a month each, and clusters on Anyport Cloud $5, billed by the hour. Compute on your own clusters is never metered because it is not ours, and the one counted resource there is traffic our gateway carries for clusters with no public address of their own: 10 GB a month free, 100 GB on Pro, then $0.02 per GB. A cluster on Anyport Cloud runs on our hardware instead and is billed for what your apps use, at $12 per vCPU and $6 per GiB of memory a month, from credit.
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.
Start with three free.
Connecting a cluster is one command and takes a few minutes. Three clusters are free with every feature, and the pricing page works out what yours would cost.
