description: Repster Cloud pricing model: metered, compute-based billing with no seats, no MTU, and no row counts.¶
Pricing¶
Repster Cloud is free during the design-partner phase. The pricing it's built around is transparent and compute-based: you'll pay for what you use, nothing more.
Free during the design-partner phase
Repster Cloud isn't billing yet. This page describes the pricing model it's built around; until metered billing launches, the line items below aren't charged. They're the commitment we're building toward, and the model won't change shape underneath you.
What you're billed for¶
| Line item | Unit |
|---|---|
| CPU time | seconds × rate |
| Memory | GB-seconds × rate |
| Storage | GB-months × rate |
| Log retention | GB-months × rate |
| Repster margin | % of compute cost |
What you're not billed for¶
- No seats: invite your whole team
- No MTU: monthly tracked users or events don't factor in
- No row counts: loading 1M rows costs the same compute as loading 1K rows of the same size
Spend controls¶
You'll be able to set a spending cap to prevent unexpected charges, with live usage visible in the Repster Cloud UI.
Why transparent pricing?¶
Opaque pricing (row-based, MTU-based, connector-count-based) is the primary trust complaint against incumbent ELT tools. Engineers extend trust to systems they can audit. When you can see exactly what you consumed and what it cost, you can predict your bill and optimize your pipelines.
Repster shows you the raw numbers: CPU seconds, memory, storage. The margin is a fixed percentage on top of the infrastructure cost, with no hidden multipliers.
