This topic describes the billable items and billing rules of AnalyticDB for PostgreSQL.
Usage notes
The prices that are provided in this topic are for reference only. See the service console to obtain the actual prices of individual resources.
Coordinator node CUs
You are not charged for coordinator node compute units (CUs) during public preview.
Billing method | Fee calculation |
Pay-as-you-go | You are billed based on the specifications and usage duration of coordinator node CUs. Coordinator node CU fee = Unit price per coordinator node CU × Usage duration Note

Computing resources
Elastic storage mode
Edition | Billing method | Fee calculation | Example |
High-performance Edition (Basic Edition) |
| You are billed based on the compute node specifications, the number of compute nodes, and the usage duration. Computing resource fee = Unit price per compute node × Number of compute nodes × Usage duration |
|
High-availability Edition |
Serverless mode
Scheduling mode | Billing method | Fee calculation | Example |
Manual | Pay-as-you-go | You are billed based on the compute node specifications, the number of compute nodes, and the usage duration. Computing resource fee = Unit price per compute node × Number of compute nodes × Usage duration | You purchase a pay-as-you-go instance in the China (Beijing) region. The instance uses four compute nodes that each provide 2 cores and 8 GB memory. The instance is used for 2,000 hours. The computing resource fee is calculated by using the following formula: USD 0.186 per hour × 4 × 2,000 hours = USD 1,488. |
Automatic | Pay-as-you-go | You are billed based on the number of AnalyticDB compute units (ACUs) and the usage duration. Computing resource fee = Unit price per ACU × Number of ACUs × Usage duration | You are not charged for computing resources during public preview of automatic scheduling. |
Storage resources
Elastic storage mode
Edition | Storage type | Billing method | Fee calculation | Example |
High-performance Edition (Basic Edition) | PL1 enhanced SSD (ESSD) | Same as the billing methods for computing resources | You are billed based on the storage type, the storage size per node, the number of compute nodes, and the usage duration. Storage resource fee = Unit price of storage × Storage size per node × Number of compute nodes × Usage duration |
|
High-availability Edition |
|
AnalyticDB for PostgreSQL supports tiered storage of hot and cold data. The cold data that is stored in Object Storage Service incurs storage costs. For more information, see Tiered storage of hot and cold data.
Serverless mode
Billing method | Fee calculation |
Pay-as-you-go | You are billed based on the storage actually occupied (including basic data and backup data) and the usage duration. Storage resource fee = (Basic data size + Backup data size) × Unit price of storage × Usage duration |
Backup
Elastic storage mode
The backup and restoration feature is available free of charge during public preview. You may be charged for this feature in the future.
Serverless mode
The backup and restoration feature is not separately billed. Backup data occupies storage and may incur storage fees. For more information about storage resource fees, see the "Storage resources" section of this topic.
