Start a 14-day trial with no payment method required. Your trial includes one hourly Linux desktop on Basic or Balanced with 90 GB SSD by default and up to 100 GB total configurable during trial. Add a payment method when you’re ready to continue after the trial or unlock paid-only options.
This depends on how you utilize WarpStations. Individual users typically prefer hourly pricing, as their usage may fluctuate. On the other hand, a large organization may prefer a monthly or annual plan; predictable billing could be easier for their accounting.
If you’re somewhere in between, you may opt for either – or try one billing structure and switch to another. Let us know if you want to discuss the pros & cons.
Currently, you can use WarpStations on any desktop or laptop computer running Windows 10+, macOS 15.0 Sequoia+, Ubuntu 22.04/24.04/26.04, and Fedora 42/43.
Before long, we’ll provide support for tablets and smartphones, so stay tuned.
Your WarpStations Linux virtual desktop runs Ubuntu 24.04, Fedora 42, and CentOS Stream 10.
A burst is a time-metered increase in compute capacity, added on top of your base plan. Once you have a plan with WarpStations, you can navigate to your desktop’s details and initiate a burst (also called a power-up sometimes 🍄).
On that page, you can move the sliders for how much CPU, RAM, and time you need, seeing the price dynamically change. You get a transparent window into how much you’ll pay for the burst.
Navigate to your desktop’s details to see how much longer your trip into the ether will last.
Please note that while our bursts are priced per hour, we only charge for the minutes you use.
Each of your virtual desktops gets a weekly automatic backup. You can view your 3 most recent backups on your desktop details page.
To help you meet rigorous regulations, WarpStations holds a high bar for security. This includes:
- • Strict adherence to US data-protection regulations
- • Strong access controls help safeguard your desktop and its data from unauthorized users
- • Aligning with corporate & legal requirements, data residency is maintained within US jurisdiction
- • Choose whether to get the latest security updates for your virtual desktop automatically
Need NIST 800-171, NIST 800-53, CMMC, or SOC 2? Let us know, as they’re available via enterprise agreements.
Please note that under CMMC, each organization still requires an independent audit; we’ll provide the SSP to facilitate a smooth process.
Because we’ve set out to push DaaS into a new era, we’ve taken a pointed approach to improving it. The key ways we’re different from other providers:
- • Unbelievable power at your fingertips. We offer bursts that outshine the competitors, so you can get more done in less time.
- • Straightforward pricing, so you know exactly what you’ll pay.
- • Easy operation, so you don’t have to learn a complicated interface. You can get down to business right away.
WarpStations uses a variety of infrastructure providers, including our own hardware, so we can place desktops where they make the most sense for performance, availability, and customer requirements.
Yes. For enterprise customers, WarpStations can deploy desktops into existing VPCs so they can connect to your private network, security controls, and cloud resources.
Yes, we’ll process your cancellation whenever you need it.
Please keep in mind that if you cancel your paid plan, you’ll immediately lose access to the virtual desktop(s) you’ve set up. So, it’s essential to export any work before canceling.
WarpStations can run desktops across a range of regions and infrastructure providers, including cloud providers and our own hardware. For individual users, we place desktops where they provide strong performance and availability. For enterprise customers, we can discuss specific region, latency, data residency, private networking, or existing VPC requirements.
One virtual desktop is included with each plan. Simply multiply the plan by the number of desktops you need, and that will be your monthly or annual cost.
