Aiven categorises plans into 5 different tiers depending on the services. These are Free, Hobbyist, Startup, Business and Premium. The differences between tiers are service specific so we encourage you to choose the service you are interested in from the plan finder on the pricing page and then click "Plan Comparison".
Most technical features are available in all tiers. One key difference between the tiers can be the number of dedicated VMs. The more VMs there are, the more resistant the service is for any anomalies. Our Hobbyist/Startup tiers are typically recommended for test environments, Business for production environments and Premium for enterprise-level production environments.
