Pricing & billing overview
How Silos pricing works — usage-based billing, scale-to-zero, and tiered plans from Free to Enterprise.
Silos bills for what you actually use. Because databases scale to zero when idle, you don't pay for compute that isn't doing anything — a fundamentally different shape from paying for a provisioned server around the clock.
Pricing is evolving and subject to change. The plan names and prices below reflect the current tiers; for the latest details, or to talk through your workload, contact us.
Two ideas to start with
Usage-based billing
You're metered on compute time, storage, and data transfer — plus branch and replica hours when you use them.
Scale to zero
When a database is idle there is no compute to bill. You pay for storage, not for waiting.
Plans
Silos offers four tiers. Free is for getting started; Scale and Global add capacity, features, and higher service-level targets; Enterprise is tailored and arranged with our team.
| Plan | Price | For |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | Trying Silos, prototypes, and small projects. |
| Scale | $69/mo | Production apps that need more headroom. |
| Global | $199/mo | Global, edge-distributed workloads. |
| Enterprise | Contact sales | Custom scale, terms, and support. |
See Plans for what each tier includes, and Usage-based billing for how usage is metered on top of a plan.
Keeping costs predictable
Usage-based billing is flexible, but you stay in control with spending controls — usage limits and alerts so a runaway workload doesn't surprise you.
