PolarDB:Overview

Last Updated:Mar 06, 2024

PolarDB for MySQL supports three billing methods for storage: pay-as-you-go + storage plan, pay-as-you-go, and subscription. Each billing method includes a set of billing rules. We recommend that you use the combination of pay-as-you-go and storage plan.

You are charged for the storage capacity consumed by your PolarDB clusters. For more information, see Comparison between PSL4 and PSL5 and Storage capacity. For more information about the billing rules for each billing method, see the following topics:

Note

PolarDB provides the price calculator and resource plan calculator. You can use the calculators to obtain information about the product pricing, estimate costs, and select a product type that meets your business requirements.

  • Price calculator: allows you to estimate the overall cost based on the details and storage capacity of the cluster that you select.

  • Resource plan calculator: allows you to estimate required compute capacity and storage capacity based on your business requirements and usage duration. The calculator can also provide recommendations on the specifications of storage plans and compute plans.
