FortiWeb is partner-quoted across all five deployment shapes — there's no published Fortinet price list. The shape of the price depends on what you buy: HW is one-time CAPEX + annual renewal, VM-S is annual subscription per tier, BYOL is the same VM-S subscription priced separately from cloud compute, FortiAppSec Cloud is per-bandwidth + per-app seats, Container is per Fortinet's container subscription. This guide walks the pricing model across all five shapes so you can build an internal estimate before the quote.
5 shapes
Pricing dimensions
HW, VM, BYOL, FortiAppSec Cloud, Container — each has its own pricing logic.
3 tiers
Std / Adv / Ent
Bundle tier determines feature set, support, threat intel coverage.
1/3/5 yr
Term options
Multi-year typically saves 5-15% over rolling annual.
2 days
Quote turnaround
INR + GST quote returned in 2 working days from sizing call.
Pricing by deployment shape
Each shape has a different commercial structure. Picking the wrong shape for your workload can double your bill.
| Shape | Pricing model | Term | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| HW Appliance (CAPEX) | One-time HW + annual service renewal (~25-35% of HW/yr) | HW: forever; service: 1/3/5 yr | DC workloads, 5+ year horizon, predictable CAPEX |
| VM-S Subscription | Annual subscription per VM tier (VM01-VM16) | 1/3/5 yr | Private cloud, hypervisor flexibility |
| Cloud BYOL | Same VM-S SKUs above; cloud carries compute only | 1/3/5 yr | Public cloud production workloads, INR billing |
| FortiAppSec Cloud SaaS | Bandwidth seat (25 Mbps each) + Application seat (1 app each) | Per month / annual | Public-facing apps, multi-region, zero infra appetite |
| Container | Container subscription per Fortinet container pricing | Annual | Kubernetes / CI-CD-native estates |
HW appliance pricing logic
HW appliances are bought as a Hardware Bundle SKU (one-time) + a Renewal Bundle SKU (annually after year 1). Bundle determines feature set:
| Model | HTTP throughput | Typical price band (HW + 1yr Std bundle, INR ex GST) | Annual renewal band (Standard) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100F | 100 Mbps | ~₹2.5–4 L | ~₹70–110K |
| 400F | 500 Mbps | ~₹6–9 L | ~₹1.7–2.5 L |
| 600F | 1 Gbps | ~₹10–14 L | ~₹2.7–4 L |
| 1000F | 2.5 Gbps | ~₹16–22 L | ~₹4.5–6.5 L |
| 2000F | 5 Gbps | ~₹28–38 L | ~₹8–11 L |
| 3000F | 10 Gbps | ~₹45–60 L | ~₹13–18 L |
| 4000F | 70 Gbps | Partner-quoted | Partner-quoted |
Illustrative INR ranges as of 30 May 2026, ex GST, ex distributor discount. Ranges reflect typical end-customer pricing bands; actual quote depends on volume, term, bundle tier, and current distributor margins. Treat as order-of-magnitude estimate. Advanced bundle: typically +25-40% over Standard. Enterprise bundle: typically +30-50% over Advanced. Multi-year (3/5 yr) typically saves 5-15% over rolling 1-yr. HA pair = 2× the figures above.
VM-S subscription pricing logic
VM-S subscription is annual per VM tier per bundle. Cloud BYOL uses the same VM-S subscription — only the cloud compute (EC2 / Azure VM) sits outside the FortiWeb quote.
| VM Tier | HTTP throughput | Standard annual band (INR ex GST) | Advanced annual band | Enterprise annual band |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| VM01 | 25 Mbps | ~₹1.5–2.5 L | ~₹2.5–4 L | ~₹4–6 L |
| VM02 | 100 Mbps | ~₹3–4.5 L | ~₹4.5–7 L | ~₹7–10 L |
| VM04 | 500 Mbps | ~₹6–9 L | ~₹9–13 L | ~₹13–18 L |
| VM08 | 3 Gbps | ~₹11–16 L | ~₹16–22 L | ~₹22–30 L |
| VM16 | 6 Gbps | ~₹18–26 L | ~₹26–36 L | ~₹36–48 L |
Illustrative INR ranges as of 30 May 2026, ex GST. Annual subscription pricing.
FortiAppSec Cloud pricing logic
FortiAppSec Cloud has two interlocking SKUs you must buy together:
▸ Bandwidth seat
25 Mbps per seat. Buy as many seats as your peak Mbps / 25. Per-plan SKU (Standard / Advanced / Enterprise).
▸ Application seat
1 web app per seat. Buy as many as you protect. Per-plan SKU.
▸ SOCaaS add-on
Per-application priced; included with Enterprise plan. Required-when-purchased clause means all apps in the account must carry it.
▸ Standalone services
GSLB (Global Server Load Balancing) priced separately per QPS + health-check count.
Bundle tier — Standard, Advanced, Enterprise
The bundle is the second sizing dimension. Same tiering applies across HW, VM-S, and FortiAppSec Cloud.
| Feature | Standard | Advanced | Enterprise |
|---|---|---|---|
| OWASP Top 10, signatures, IP rep, AV, FortiAI Assist | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Cloud Sandbox, Credential Stuffing Defense, Threat Analytics | — | ✓ | ✓ |
| Advanced Bot Protection, Client-Side Protection, DLP | — | — | ✓ |
| SOCaaS | Add-on | Add-on | Included |
| Typical price step over previous tier | baseline | +25-40% | +30-50% |
If you handle card payments (any PCI DSS 4.0 exposure), Enterprise is effectively non-optional. Client-Side Protection addresses PCI DSS 4.0 requirements 6.4.3 and 11.6.1, which became enforceable in 2025-26.
What drives the price
▸ Throughput class
Largest single driver. VM01 to VM16 step roughly doubles cost at each tier. HW 100F to 4000F has wider price spread.
▸ Bundle tier
Std → Adv: +25-40%. Adv → Ent: +30-50%. Pick by workload need, not by sales pressure.
▸ Term length
3-yr: 5-10% off rolling annual. 5-yr: 10-15% off. Working-capital trade-off.
▸ HA / multi-region
Active-passive or active-active: both 2× licence. Multi-region: per-region licence.
▸ Add-ons
SOCaaS, FortiAI extended subscription, FortiManager / FortiAnalyzer integration.
▸ Currency lock
BYOL via Ogma: INR + GST locked at quote. PAYG: USD-billed via cloud invoice with monthly FX exposure.
