​
Trial plan

The Trial plan is offered for free. This plan equips you with all the essential resources needed to test and experience the features offered by RisingWave.

​
Standard plan

The Standard plan operates on a pay-as-you-go model. You only pay for your actual usage, which includes compute resources, storage capacity, and network usage.
  • Compute resources: Compute resources are measured in RisingWave Unit (RWU) hours used across all projects in the organization. See the explanation of RWU below. In each RisingWave project, the usages are tracked for all four components:
  • Storage capacity: RisingWave Cloud bills the storage in per GB-month increments at a second rate. You pay for the storage capacity of the data your RisingWave project persisted during stream processing, such as tables, materialized views, and internal states.
  • Network: Network usage is billed based on data transfer. For detailed information about network billing, see Network billing.
See the pricing information below for the cost of compute resources and storage capacity in different regions.

​
Advanced plan

The Advanced plan offers a customized pricing model based on your specific needs. Unlike other plans, the billing details for Advanced projects aren’t directly displayed in the billing system. The usage for Advanced projects is monitored in the backend and your invoices are generated based on a customized base price. While the pricing model aligns with the Standard plan, we provide a custom offer to match your specific needs. Please reach out to our sales for your customized offer.

​
RisingWave Unit (RWU)

In RisingWave Cloud, the primary unit of computational resource allocation and pricing is the RisingWave Unit (RWU). An RWU is a pre-allocated bundle of computational resources, specifically designed to facilitate horizontal scalability in your data processing operations. Each RWU is composed of approximately 1-core vCPU and 4 GB of memory. This allocation allows for efficient resource management and cost-effective scalability. Billing for all components within a RisingWave project is based on RWU-hour usage. This means that possessing one RWU for one hour equates to 1 RWU-hour.

Pricing example

To better understand how pricing works in RisingWave Cloud, let’s consider a hypothetical scenario. Suppose you’ve provisioned a RisingWave project with the following configuration:
  • 3 Compute nodes, each with 8 RWUs
  • 3 Frontend nodes, each with 2 RWUs
  • 1 Meta node with 4 RWUs
  • 1 Compactor node with 4 RWUs
In total, the project utilizes 41 RWUs and stores 20GB of data. The project operated for 700 hours in the past month. The project also transferred 1TB (1024GB) of public ingress data and 20GB of public egress data. Suppose the base price for your region is $0.227 per RWU-hour for compute resources and $0.0299 per GB-month for storage capacities. The network transfer rates are $0.07 per GB for public ingress and $0.17 per GB for public egress. Given these details, your bill for this project for the past month will be calculated as follows:
  • Compute resources cost: $0.227 * 41 RWUs * 700 hours = $6,514.9
  • Storage capacity cost: $0.0299 * 20GB = $0.598
  • Network transfer cost:
    • Public ingress: $0.07 * 1024GB = $71.68
    • Public egress: $0.17 * 20GB = $3.40
Therefore, the total cost for this example would be $6,590.578.
