Just voicing my $2c here (I talked with @muse-sisay about these on a videocall earlier): I'm down to add this but I feel this might bring something to the table in terms of marking specific resources as "not entirely free" somehow. Based on what I see, they charge per number of vCPUs so while there is a free tier, going over it is a possibility.

Their pricing seems to be based on, quote, "the vCPU hours of your environment. PerfectScale calculates the amount of vCPU cores per hour allotted across any cloud or self-hosted Kubernetes environments" so it's generous enough for average size clusters and you only have to pay if you go over it.

That, and the fact that there's VPA gave me a headscratch around offering this via the catalog.

All in all, it would be nice to have a marker or something that says something along the lines of "free tier available / paid product" so people can quickly make an appropriate choice. Happy to merge this in the meantime though!

I imagine this is going to be an achilles heel... Is this from their tokens or something along those lines?

Hi @patrickdappollonio,
We have a few paid products in our catalog, Datadog being the most expensive to use. In my opinion, the marketplace (catalog) should be include all apps that can be installed in a cluster that can benefit our/Kubefirst customers.

I agree having a label/disclaimer next to the app will help people make decisions. And we should consider adding it when the product matures.

The guideline we had when we introduced the catalog is that the user should be able to at least try it for free before having to pay anything.
