There are a few plan options that allow you to choose your commitment level and savings. Each plan includes a $25.00 free credit per month. The $25 credit is good for approximately 30 million reads, 5 million writes, and 40GB of storage per month.

To get an accurate cost for your database based on your selected plan, cloud provider, and region, create your first database. If you want to get started for free and without entering credit card details, select the free plan. This option allows you to cancel your plan anytime you want with no long-term commitment.If you want to take advantage of annual savings, subscribe and save with an annual commitment. Your savings depends on the minimum spend you are willing to commit to for a discounted rate.

The following units of measure affect the pricing of your database:

Read and write requests, including API calls, are measured and charged monthly in increments of one million. Data storage and transfer are measured separately; each data type is charged monthly in increments of one GB.

You can select AWS, GCP, or Azure as your cloud provider. Each cloud provider offers Standard, Premium and Premium+ regions. The cloud provider and region you select affects the price of each unit of measure for your database.

If you are using multiple regions for your serverless database:

Data transfers are charged for all intra-network communication, including data being replicated to all deployed regions and ongoing data transfer for data exported out of the region, such as to another cloud provider or region.Data transfers are always based on the source region rates.

Data Storage is calculated based on actual disk consumption per region at the region-specific rate.

When you add a new region, there is a one-time data transfer fee to replicate data to the new region in addition to the regular operation costs.

For free plans, your remaining credits will be displayed. These credits include the $25 credit that is renewed every month for every plan.

For pay as you go plans, your remaining credits will be displayed. These credits include the $25 credit that is renewed every month for every plan. You must have a billing method for your account. Any usage amount that exceeds the $25 monthly credit shows up in the Estimated Bill, which is auto-drafted monthly based on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), also known as Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

For the annual plan, you are committing to the minimum monthly spend for 12 months. Your remaining credits will display the balance of your $25 credit that is renewed every month for every plan, along with the committed monthly minimum that is billed in arrears at the end of the month. If you exceed your credit and committed monthly minimum, the overages will be charged at your discounted rate. This amount shows up in the Estimated Bill, which is auto-drafted monthly based on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), also known as Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

Private endpoints are charged per endpoint per region at $0.03/hour.

Additionally, you will be billed for ingress and egress data at $0.01/GB for all data that uses the private endpoint. If you exceed your monthly credit and you do not have a payment method in Astra DB, your database will not be available for use until you add a payment method.

When running a private endpoint for a full 30-day billing cycle, the charges for each private endpoint is billed at $21.60 per region. The cost for private endpoints will be charged against your $25 monthly credit.

You can select AWS, GCP, or Azure as your cloud provider. Each cloud provider offers Standard, Premium and Premium+ regions. The cloud provider and region you select affects the price of each unit of measure for your database.

If you are using multiple regions for your classic database, you will pay a pricing premium for each additional region:

This premium pricing includes 1.25 TB of data egress. If your data egress exceeds 1.25 TB, the excess data egress is charged at the following rates:
