Billing¶

Billing Options¶

ScyllaDB Cloud offers flexible billing options to match different usage patterns and business needs. You can choose between fixed contracts, Flex Credit—a prepaid pool of money that can be used to cover a cluster’s usage costs, or using on-demand resources, depending on how predictable your workload is.

• Contract

  With contracts, customers commit to a specific instance type, quantities, and a data center region for a defined period (typically one year). This option provides predictable billing and reserved capacity.

  Example: 3 × i4i.xlarge instances in us-east1 for one year.

  Under the Premium plan, contracts also allow flexibility to adjust instance types and regions during the contract term.

• Flex Credit

  With Flex Credit, customers purchase a pool of credits upfront. These credits can be used to cover dynamic or temporary resources not included in a fixed contract—such as scaling additional nodes or deploying ScyllaDB X Cloud workloads.

  This option is ideal for workloads that vary over time or for extending capacity as needed. It offers flexibility while maintaining control over spending.

• On-Demand

  With On-Demand billing, customers pay for resources as they are used, without any upfront commitment. It is best suited for unpredictable or short-term workloads.

  This option provides the greatest flexibility but comes at the highest cost per resource.
