Key concepts
Storage
Storage refers to the amount of data you store in Hologres, excluding data replicas. You are billed for your actual usage, which includes business data and metadata. For specific billing details, refer to your bill. Storage is measured in gigabytes (GB).
Compute capacity
For an exclusive instance, compute capacity is the total computing resources required for operations in Hologres, such as writes and queries. It is measured in compute units (CUs). One CU is equivalent to 1 core and 4 GB of memory.
For an exclusive instance, compute capacity also includes the resources used by these features:
When you run SQL jobs using the Serverless Computing feature, the amount of computation is the amount of serverless computing resources used. The unit is the Compute Unit (CU)-hour.
For additional computing resources provisioned using the time-specific scaling feature, you are billed for the scaled-out resources, measured in CU-hours.
Network traffic
Network traffic is the data transferred over the network when you use the cross-region snapshot replication feature. It is measured in gigabytes (GB).
Billing
Hologres exclusive instances support two billing methods: subscription and pay-as-you-go. You are billed for three types of resources: computing, storage, and network. The figure below details the associated billable items.
Exclusive instances support advanced features such as Serverless Computing, backup and restoration, and cross-region snapshot replication, regardless of the billing method. Note that these advanced features consume computing, storage, and network resources, which are always billed on a pay-as-you-go basis.
Subscription
This is a pre-paid billing method where you pay for a monthly or yearly plan based on your estimated computing and storage resource needs. For more information, see Subscription.
Pay-as-you-go
This is a post-paid billing method. Computing fees are based on the specifications of your computing resources and instance runtime. Storage fees are based on actual storage usage and the duration of storage. Billing is hourly, which means charges are deducted (settled) every hour. For more information, see Pay-as-you-go.
NoteYou are still billed hourly for computing resources, even if no jobs are running on the instance.
Billable item rules
This topic describes the detailed billing rules for each billable item and how to stop billing for Hologres under the subscription and pay-as-you-go billing methods.
Subscription
Billable item | Billing rules | Stop billing |
Computing resources | You are charged upfront at the time of purchase for the specifications and subscription duration you select. | To release an instance before the subscription expires, join the Hologres DingTalk group to submit a request. For more information, see How can I get more online support?. Important After an instance is released, its data and objects cannot be recovered. Proceed with caution. |
Gateway resources | ||
Reserved computing resources of a virtual warehouse | ||
Elastic resources of a virtual warehouse (including scheduled scaling and auto scaling) | You are billed post-use based on the amount and duration of elastic resources used. | Stop using the scaling features and use the reserved computing resources of the instance instead. |
Serverless computing resources | You are billed post-use based on the amount and duration of serverless computing resources used. | To stop charges, use the instance's reserved computing resources instead of serverless computing resources when you run SQL statements. |
Standard storage |
|
|
Infrequent access (IA) storage | ||
Backup snapshots | You are billed separately on a pay-as-you-go basis. | Disable periodic backups and delete existing snapshots. |
Network transfer fees for cross-region snapshot replication | You are billed separately on a pay-as-you-go basis. | Disable the cross-region snapshot replication feature. |
Pay-as-you-go
Billable item | Billing rules | Stop billing |
Computing resources | Billing starts when the instance is created. You are billed hourly for the specifications you purchase, even if the instance is idle. |

Infrequent access (IA) storage | ||
Backup snapshots | You are billed based on the amount of storage used. | Disable periodic backups and delete existing snapshots. |
Network transfer fees for cross-region snapshot replication | You are billed based on the amount of data transferred. | Disable the cross-region snapshot replication feature. |
Cost calculation
Hologres costs are based on the subscription or pay-as-you-go billing method and vary by region.For details on billing rules and how to stop charges, see Billing rules for billable items.
Example scenarios:
Scenario 1
For a
subscriptionplan, assume you need 500 GB ofstandard storageand 64CUofcomputing resourcesfor a 6-month term. If yourinstanceis in Singapore, the totalprepaidcost is: (USD 31.970149 × 64 × 6) + (USD 0.182090 × 500 × 6) = USD 12,822.80722. The billing logic forinfrequent access storageis the same.Scenario 2
With a
subscriptionplan, you initially purchase 100 GB ofstandard storage. However, in a given hour, your usage increases to 200 GB. If yourinstanceis in Singapore, you will be charged for the excess storage. The additional charge is calculated as follows: (200 - 100) × USD 0.000379 = USD 0.0379.Scenario 3
In a
pay-as-you-gomodel, you provision 64CUofcomputing resources, and yourinfrequent access storageusage is 100 GB for one hour. If yourinstanceis in Singapore, the total cost for that hour is: (USD 0.182090 × 64 × 1) + (USD 0.000055 × 100 × 1) = USD 11.65926.

Billing cycle
Hologres bills are issued on the following schedule:
Subscription: When you purchase a subscription instance, a bill for the prepayment is sent to your Alibaba Cloud account. If your storage usage exceeds the subscribed capacity, the overage is billed on a pay-as-you-go basis. A bill for this overage is sent to your Alibaba Cloud account every hour until your storage usage is within the subscribed capacity.
Pay-as-you-go: Bills are sent to your Alibaba Cloud account hourly.
Billing methods
Hologres offers two billing methods. Review the following to determine the best option for your business.
Pay-as-you-go: Recommended for development and testing projects with unpredictable jobs or small data volumes. This method provides excellent cost control because you pay only for the resources you use.
Subscription: Recommended for stable jobs in a production environment.
