Storage pricing & policy update — effective 2026-07-01 09:00 UTC. Object storage moves from free preview to paid usage at $0.03/GiB/month. Cluster storage keeps the same per-GiB rate but switches from provisioned-capacity billing to actual-usage daily billing. See the FAQ below for details.
Cluster storage
Cluster storage is billed daily based on actual usage — the volume of data physically stored, not the provisioned capacity.| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Cluster storage | $0.20/GiB/month ($0.0067/GiB/day, billed daily pay-as-you-go) |
Cluster storage uses high-availability CephFS/NVMe within a cluster. Data persists even after workspace termination, and volumes can be shared across workspaces in the same cluster.
Object storage
Object storage is billed daily based on actual usage.| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Object storage | $0.03/GiB/month ($0.001/GiB/day, billed daily pay-as-you-go) |
Object storage is S3-backed and accessible across clusters in your organization. Use it for datasets, model checkpoints, and cross-cluster sharing.
