FAQS
- A typical user may generate 1 Gigabyte of compressed storage per day, keeping a year’s worth of data. They may run overnight dbt jobs and host BI dashboards, resulting in 364 Compute Unit hours being used every month.
- Thus they’d use 365 GB-months and 364 Compute Unit-hours per month. That’s 265 GB-months and 264 Compute Unit hours above the Standard Plan (which includes 100GB-months and 100 Compute Unit-hours).
- Thus they’d pay $25/mo for the Standard Plan, plus 265*0.08 = $21.2 for storage and 264*0.25 = $66 for compute.
- In total, they’d owe $25+$21.2+$66 = $112.20.
