Function Compute supports the following billing methods: free trial quotas, pay-as-you-go, and resource plans. The Compute Unit (CU) serves as a unified billing metric. To calculate CU usage, multiply the following factors by their corresponding CU conversion factors: the number of function invocations, active vCPU usage, idle vCPU usage, memory usage, disk usage, and active and idle GPU usage (including Tesla series and Ada series).
Billing methods
Free trial quotas
Function Compute provides a complimentary trial CU plan for first-time users. If you do not purchase additional resource plans, any usage exceeding the trial quota in each cycle is billed on a pay-as-you-go basis. For more information, see Trial quotas.
Resource plans
Function Compute provides five tiers of CU resource plans. After you buy a resource plan, it is preferentially used to offset resource usage. When the quota in the resource plan is exhausted, you are charged on a pay-as-you-go basis. Resource plans allow you to utilize a fixed amount of resources at a discounted rate, helping you reduce costs. For more information, see Resource plans.
Pay-as-you-go
You are charged based on the computing resources that you use. For more information, see Pay-as-you-go.
Billing of other Alibaba Cloud services
When you use Function Compute, you may be charged for other Alibaba Cloud services that are accessed, including Object Storage Service, Simple Log Service, and File Storage NAS.
