PolarDB for PostgreSQL (distributed edition) compute resources include compute nodes (CNs) and data nodes (DNs). This product supports three billing methods: pay-as-you-go, and subscription. The price varies based on the node specifications and the billing method.
Compute resource nodes are available in two series: General-purpose and Dedicated.
General-purpose: Clusters on the same server share idle compute resources, such as CPU. This resource sharing provides cost savings.
Dedicated: Each cluster has exclusive access to its allocated compute resources, such as CPU, and does not share them with other clusters on the same server. This provides more stable and reliable performance.
When you purchase a cluster, one read-only node is added by default for the primary CN and the primary DN. The specifications of this read-only node are the same as those of the primary CN and primary DN in the primary zone or primary data center. This node is billed separately.
You receive a 25% discount on the unit price of each read-only node added to a CN/DN.
Pay-as-you-go
With the pay-as-you-go billing method, you do not pay upfront when you create a database cluster. Instead, you are charged for the compute resources that you use. The compute nodes and data nodes of the cluster are billed hourly, and fees are deducted from your account on an hourly basis.
The following tables show the hourly prices for different pay-as-you-go compute node specifications in some regions.
The prices in the following tables are for a single node.
To improve the read performance of CNs and DNs, one read-only node is added for each CN and DN in a PolarDB for PostgreSQL (distributed edition) cluster by default.

Subscription
With the subscription billing method, you prepay for the compute nodes of your cluster when you create it.
The following tables show the monthly prices for different subscription compute node specifications in some regions.
The prices in the following tables are for a single node.
To improve the read performance of CNs and DNs, one read-only node is added for each CN and DN in a PolarDB for PostgreSQL (distributed edition) cluster by default.
