The ways that monthly charges are incurred for a CockroachDB Cloud organization depend on the plans of its clusters: CockroachDB Basic, Standard, or Advanced. This page explains costs under each plan, specifying components that are billed based on provisioned capacity or usage.

This page reflects [updated costs](https://www.cockroachlabs.com/pricing/new/) recently [announced](https://www.cockroachlabs.com/blog/improved-cockroachdb-cloud-pricing/) for CockroachDB Cloud. This new pricing, including new usage-based costs, now applies to all customers except those with annual or multi-year contracts that began prior to December 1, 2024, for whom the updated pricing goes into effect upon contract renewal. Prior to renewal, line items for usage of data transfer, backups, and changefeeds are displayed in the [Billing](https://cockroachlabs.cloud/billing) interface and on invoices with a $0 charge, while showing actual usage metrics to help estimate future costs.

What do we mean by watched? Is is the total amount of data in the tables or the total amount of data that matches selectors defined for the changefeed? I suspect it's the total amount of data that might be streamed (thus data matching selectors, but it's not entirely clear).

Is GiB-hour defined somewhere? Total GiBs stored X hours that many GiBs have been stored?


A CockroachDB Standard cluster maintains a minimum of three [replicas]({% link {{site.current_cloud_version}}/architecture/replication-layer.md %}) of your data. The second and third replicas are included, with no additional storage charge. If you add further replicas, each will incur a storage cost equal to that of the first replica—the logical database size.

For example, consider a GCP cluster provisioned in Oregon (us-west1). The cluster consists of three nodes, each with 75 GiB of storage. The storage cost for the cluster is determined by multiplying the storage size (75 GiB) by the storage rate ($0.0010338 per GiB) per node. The total storage cost is then calculated by multiplying this figure by the number of nodes: (75 GiB \* $0.0010338) \* 3, which equals $0.232605 per hour.

## Usage-based billing metrics in Preview
<a id="usage-based-costs"></a>

Metering for usage-based billing of data transfer, managed backup storage, and changefeeds is in [Preview]({% link {{site.current_cloud_version}}/cockroachdb-feature-availability.md %}) for all CockroachDB Cloud organizations.

- Usage metrics for data transfer, managed backup storage, and changefeeds are now visible for CockroachDB Standard and Advanced clusters in the CockroachDB Cloud Console. You can view your usage across these metrics on the [Billing page](https://cockroachlabs.cloud/billing/overview) and on invoices.
- There will be no usage-based charges associated with these metrics during the Preview period, which is in effect through November 30, 2024. During this time, line items with a charge of $0 will be shown for each metric on your monthly invoice.
- Future pricing for these usage-based costs is available on the [Pricing](https://www.cockroachlabs.com/pricing) page.
- On December 1, 2024, once the Preview has ended, pricing for these metrics goes into effect immediately for new customers and for existing pay-as-you-go customers (e.g. paying monthly by credit card). Customers with annual or multi-year contracts will continue to preview these line items without incurring charges for them (i.e. expending credits) through the end of their current contract term.
