Pricing

The shape of the price, before the price.

Gauntlet is pre-beta and nothing is for sale. This page describes the pricing model so you can judge whether it suits your workload. It is indicative and may change before launch.

Indicative, pre-launch. No rates, free allowances or commitments are published. Any number you see elsewhere is not a Gauntlet price.

The managed model

Plan + allocated nodes + live logical storage.

Three line items, each tied to something you can see. There is no charge per request, per row read or per query.

Line itemWhat it measuresStatus
PlanA flat amount per organisation for the service level, with a published commit-rate ceiling per plan and node size.Rate not set
Allocated nodesNode time, by node size. The compute you reserve, whether or not databases are active on it.Rate not set
Live logical storageThe data your databases currently hold, measured daily. Not physical bytes, and not history you did not ask to keep.Not billed until reclamation is on
Retained historyPoint-in-time windows and branches, as a separate line once those features exist.Coming

What scale to zero means for a bill

An idle database makes no bucket requests, so its incremental cost is its stored bytes. It does not make a plan or an allocated node free. Many idle databases on one small node is the case this model is built for.

Fair use, stated as a number

Each plan and node size will publish a commit-rate ceiling, because every commit is a write to the bucket. You will see the ceiling before you buy, not after you hit it.

Estimates are not invoices

Usage shown in a console is an estimate until the period closes. Finalised usage and estimated usage will be labelled separately. A bill is never computed from Query Insights counters.

Every claim gets a measurement

The managed service's general-availability gate is that every claim on this page has a published measurement behind it. Until then this page describes intent.
