AlloyDB for PostgreSQL pricing
This page contains information about pricing for AlloyDB for PostgreSQL.
Pricing for AlloyDB for PostgreSQL is transparent and predictable, with no expensive, proprietary licensing and no opaque I/O charges. It is composed of the following charges:
For AlloyDB for PostgreSQL, VM memory, cluster storage, and data transfers are calculated in gigabytes (GB), where 1 GB is 230 bytes. This unit of measurement is also known as a gibibyte (GiB).
CPU and memory
Compute resources for AlloyDB for PostgreSQL are priced per vCPU and GB of memory, which are determined by the VMs in AlloyDB instances. When you create an instance, you choose the number of CPUs and the amount of memory you want for its VMs, up to 128 vCPUs and 864 GB of memory per VM. A zonal primary instance uses one VM. A high availability primary instance uses two VMs, one for the active primary and a second for the in-region standby. AlloyDB read pool nodes use one VM each. Pricing for CPUs and memory depends on the region where your instance is located. Select your region in the dropdown on the pricing table.
AlloyDB also offers committed use discounts (CUDs) for CPU and memory resources when you commit to continuously use databases for a one- or three-year term. The pricing table below illustrates effective pricing per vCPU and per GB of RAM after CUDs are applied. For more information about these commitments, see Committed use discounts.
Billing is on an hourly basis. Monthly prices are illustrative, assuming
a 730 hour month.
If you pay in a currency other than USD, the prices listed in your currency on

Storage
AlloyDB for PostgreSQL uses an intelligent regional storage system that automatically scales up and down. As a result, you only pay for the storage you use. Storage prices depend on the region where the instance is located. Select your region in the dropdown on the pricing table.
If you pay in a currency other than USD, the prices listed in your currency on Cloud Platform SKUs apply.
Backup storage
AlloyDB for PostgreSQL stores your on-demand, automatic, and continuous backups and transaction logs in backup storage. A backup is billed from the time it is complete (designated by a "Ready" state) until it is outside of its retention period. First seven days of transaction logs are retained at no extra charge, and logs retained after seven days are billed.
If you pay in a currency other than USD, the prices listed in your currency on Cloud Platform SKUs apply.
