Pricing model #
VictoriaMetrics Cloud pricing is based on a fixed tier model, where majority of the costs are known at deployment time. The cost per deployment consists of:
- Compute: The cost of deployment installation. Users select and deploy a Capacity Tier , with a fixed cost.
- Storage: The storage used by the deployment. Users select their desired storage, with a fixed cost.
- Network: External (egress) network usage. Users are charged $0.09 per GB for egress traffic, which matches AWS’ rate. Even for very large deployments, from our experience this amount is typically below 0.5% of the total cost. The total cost will be included in your monthly invoice.
This breakdown is made to help understanding and managing your costs. Usage data is sent hourly to the payment provider (AWS or Stripe). Detailed billing information is available via the Billing Page of your VictoriaMetrics Cloud account.
Why is this important? #
Each deployment operates with predefined configurations and limits, protecting you from unexpected overages caused by factors such as:
- Data ingestion spikes.
- Cardinality explosions.
- Accidental heavy queries.
This ensures predictable costs and proactive alerts for workload anomalies.
Detailed pricing structure #
Pricing begins at ~$190/month for the smallest tiers of VictoriaMetrics and VictoriaLogs. To view other tiers and their costs, navigate to the Create New Deployment section in the VictoriaMetrics Cloud application.
