Pricing

The price is the infrastructure cost.

Not cost-plus, not a list price with a discount waiting behind a sales call. We publish the rates we are charged for the resources your instance reserves, and bill them by the second.

Price your instance

Pick a machine and a disk. That's the price.

Slide through the size ladder and storage range — the estimate is computed live from the same cost model the console shows at checkout and the billing engine charges from.

Questions

Pricing questions.

Is the price on this page what I actually pay?

Yes. The estimate here is produced by the same cost model the console uses at checkout and the same rates the billing engine charges. There is no separate list price and no negotiated discount you have to ask for.

What am I charged when an instance is paused?

Only storage and, if enabled, backups. Compute and memory stop billing the moment the instance pauses, because billing is metered by the second rather than by the month.

Is there a charge per query?

No. There is no per-query, per-operation or per-row fee. You pay for the resources the instance reserves, nothing else.

What about data transfer?

Traffic inside the region is included. Internet egress is billed as used at $0.12 per GB, so it appears on your invoice only if you pull data out of the region.

Can I change instance size later?

Yes. Sizes move up and down the ladder from g1 through g64 on Pro, and storage expands independently up to 4,096 GiB. Resizing does not require recreating the instance or changing your connection URI.

How do I get a Dedicated instance?

Dedicated covers g128 through g512, up to 96 vCPU and 512 GB of memory on isolated compute. Get in touch and we will size it with you.
