Cluster edition Billable item Billing method Billing rule
ApsaraDB for ClickHouse cluster Compute node
  • Subscription
  • Pay-as-you-go
The fee for the compute nodes of a cluster.

Fee of compute nodes = Unit price per compute node × Number of nodes × Usage duration.

Storage space
  • Subscription
  • Pay-as-you-go
The fee for the storage space of a cluster.
Storage space fee = Storage unit price × Storage space × Number of nodes × Usage duration.
Note Storage space refers to the storage capacity you selected when you purchased the cluster, rather than the used space. For example, if you selected 100 GB storage space when you purchased a cluster, but only 20 GB was used by the time the bill was generated, then you are still charged for 100 GB storage space.
Cold storage space Pay-as-you-go The fee for the cold storage space of a cluster.
Cold storage space fee = Unit price of cold data storage × Used cold data storage × Usage duration.
Note Cold data storage can be used after you enable tiered storage of hot data and cold data. For more information about how to enable tiered storage of hot data and cold data, see Tiered storage of hot data and cold data.
Backup space Pay-as-you-go The fee for the backup space of a cluster. ApsaraDB ClickHouse provides a free quota that you can use to store backup data. The free quota is equal to the size of the storage space in your ApsaraDB for ClickHouse cluster. If the size of your backup data exceeds the free quota, you are billed for the excess backup space based on the pay-as-you-go billing method. You are billed by hour and based on the unit price of backup space.

Backup space fee = (Used backup space - Free quota of backup space) × Unit price of backup space × Usage duration.
