Computing resources
Computing resources are measured in ClickHouse Compute Units (CCUs). One CCU equals 1 vCore and 4 GB of memory. Usage is billed per second based on actual usage.
Billing formula
Computing resource fee = CCU unit price x CCU usage x usage durationUsage duration is calculated as seconds used / 3600.

Reduce computing costs
A Computing Resource Plan offsets pay-as-you-go computing charges, reducing the unit price by approximately 51%.
Storage resources
Storage resources are metered and billed hourly in gigabytes (GB). No upfront purchase is required. Three storage types are available depending on the region:
-
OSS (Object Storage Service) -- Cost-effective object storage. Available in all regions.
-
ESSD_L1 -- Enhanced SSD cloud disk, level 1. Available in select regions.
-
ESSD_L2 -- Enhanced SSD cloud disk, level 2. Higher performance tier. Available in select regions.
Pricing varies by storage type, region, and deployment mode (single-AZ or multi-AZ).
Billing formula
Storage resource fee = storage unit price x storage usage (GB) x usage duration (hours)ESSD pricing note
For pay-as-you-go instances that use ESSD_L1 or ESSD_L2 cloud disks, the unit price is the same whether storage is pre-purchased or billed as pay-as-you-go. Purchase adequate pre-purchased storage capacity based on actual data usage and bandwidth needs to ensure sufficient cluster throughput. For details on the relationship between cluster bandwidth and pre-purchased storage capacity, see Usage limits.

Cost estimation example
The following example estimates hourly costs for a cluster in the Singapore region.
Cluster configuration:
-
Computing: 4 CCUs
-
Storage: 500 GB on OSS, single-AZ deployment
Hourly cost calculation:
| Resource | Formula | Hourly cost |
|---|---|---|
| Computing | 4 CCUs x $0.20595/CCU/hour | $0.82380 |
| Storage | 500 GB x $0.000047/GB/hour | $0.02350 |
| Total | $0.84730/hour |
This estimate covers computing and storage only. Actual costs depend on usage patterns, and prices are subject to change.
FAQ
What does pay-as-you-go mean for ApsaraDB for ClickHouse?
Pay-as-you-go is a postpaid billing model. Computing resources are billed per second and storage resources are billed hourly, both based on actual usage. No upfront payment or commitment is required.
What is a CCU?
A ClickHouse Compute Unit (CCU) is the billing unit for computing resources. One CCU equals 1 vCore and 4 GB of memory.
How do resource plans reduce costs?
Both Computing Resource Plans and Storage Resource Plans offset pay-as-you-go charges, reducing the unit price by approximately 51%. For details, see Computing Resource Plans and Storage Resource Plans.
Which storage type should I choose?
OSS is available in all regions and offers the lowest cost. ESSD_L1 and ESSD_L2 provide higher throughput for performance-sensitive workloads and are available in China mainland, China (Hong Kong), Singapore, and Japan (Tokyo).
What is the difference between single-AZ and multi-AZ pricing?
Multi-AZ deployments distribute resources across multiple availability zones for higher availability. Multi-AZ storage prices are higher than single-AZ prices. Not all regions support multi-AZ deployment. See the Storage type and deployment availability table for region-level details.
