Mendix: What It Is, Pricing & Alternatives

Overview

Mendix was founded in Rotterdam in 2005 and acquired by Siemens in 2018^[5]. Its pricing page says Mendix is part of Siemens’ Intelligence Center X, and the site’s copyright is held by Siemens Industry Software Netherlands B.V.^[4]. Offices are listed in Boston, Frankfurt, London, Rotterdam and Singapore^[5].

The platform offers a visual modelling environment for business developers and a code-centric path for professional developers, with apps deployable to the Mendix cloud or to customer-managed infrastructure. Siemens ownership gives it a natural position in manufacturing, where Mendix apps are used alongside Siemens industrial software.

Mendix is one of few enterprise low-code platforms to publish starting prices: Standard starts at €918 per month for one app or €2,295 per month for unlimited apps, while Premium is quote-based^[4]. Pricing depends on the number of apps and users, with lower per-user prices at higher volumes and more favourable rates for external portal users; anonymous users and developers are not charged^[4]. A free plan includes a deployment environment per app with unlimited users but no support or availability guarantee^[4]. A caveat is that licence prices exclude cloud compute, which is charged separately according to the deployment option^[4].
