Billable items
The following table describes the billable items of ApsaraDB for ClickHouse.
Edition | Billable item | Billing method | Billing rule |
Community-compatible Edition | Compute node |
| The fee for the compute nodes of a cluster. Fee for compute nodes = Unit price of a compute node × Number of nodes × Usage duration |
Storage space |
| The fee for the storage space of a cluster. Fee for storage space = Unit price of storage × Storage space × Number of nodes × Usage duration Important Storage space refers to the storage capacity that you select when you purchase a cluster, rather than the used space. For example, if you select 100 GB storage capacity when you purchase a cluster and use 20 GB when the bill is generated, you are still charged for 100 GB storage space. | |
Cold storage space | Pay-as-you-go | The fee for the cold storage space of a cluster. Fee for cold storage space = Unit price of cold data storage × Used cold data storage space × Usage duration Important Cold data storage can be used after you enable tiered storage of hot data and cold data. For more information about how to enable tiered storage of hot data and cold data, see Tiered storage of hot data and cold data. | |
Backup space | Pay-as-you-go | The fee for the backup space of a cluster. ApsaraDB for ClickHouse provides a free quota that you can use to store backup data.

You are charged for the excess backup storage that exceeds the free quota based on the unit price of backup space on an hourly basis by using the pay-as-you-go billing method. Fee for backup space = (Used backup space - Free quota of backup space) × Unit price of backup space × Usage duration | |
Enterprise Edition | Computing resource | Pay-as-you-go | The fee for the computing resources of a cluster. You are charged for the used computing resources. The total compute capacity units (CCUs) consumed in an hour are calculated by summing the CCUs consumed every second during that hour. Computing resources are billed on an hourly basis.
