The pricing is actually quite competitive. In Azure environments, it gets beaten by Microsoft API Gateway, but on the other hand, it offers some features that Microsoft lacks. So it really comes down to cost-benefit in the end. I would rate the pricing a three out of ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive.
It had a free version, which suited many of our needs, but not all, but we were happy to go ahead with the licensed version as well, which is the paid version. We are required to pay a licensing fee. There are no additional costs, it was pretty transparent. To be honest, I don't remember much about the license, but as far as I know, there was nothing alarming.
There are different versions and plans available depending on the requirements, so there is flexibility in terms of the pricing. Compared to other products, this is a cheaper solution.

Tyk has a whole lot of features. You could actually break them up into separate products, maybe like an ESB, the actual API, the security component with a security manager and so on. This would allow for delivering partial packages that were cheaper. Not everyone will need or even want all the features.
Tyk is an open source API Gateway that is fast and scalable, an API management platform featuring an API gateway, analytics, developer portal and dashboard.
Available in three flavours to best suit your architecture and governance. We offer full cloud or on-premises options, and the best of both worlds with our unique hybrid model.
