| 7 | +# Phala Cloud Pricing |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +We've made our pricing simple and clear so you can easily plan your costs. |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +## How Pricing Works |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +- **Pay-as-you-go**: Only pay for time your CVMs are running |
| 14 | +- **Per-minute billing**: Pay for exact minutes used |
| 15 | +- **No hidden fees**: We track usage automatically |
| 16 | +- **No minimums**: No subscription or minimum usage required |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +## Compute and Storage |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +Pricing consists of two separate components: |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +### Compute |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +- Billed based on the instance type you select |
| 25 | +- **Only charged while your CVM is running** |
| 26 | +- When you stop a CVM, compute billing stops immediately |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +### Storage |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +- Billed at **$0.000139 per GB per hour** (~$0.10 per GB per month) |
| 31 | +- **Charged for both running and stopped CVMs** |
| 32 | +- To stop storage charges completely, you must delete the CVM |
| 33 | +- Minimum disk size is 20GB per CVM |
| 34 | +- System space is not included in disk allocation - you get the full disk size for your data |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +## Pricing Example |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +A CVM using `tdx.large` (4 vCPU, 8GB RAM) with 100GB disk: |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +**While running:** |
| 41 | +- Compute: $0.232/hour (based on instance type) |
| 42 | +- Storage: 100 × $0.000139 = $0.0139/hour |
| 43 | +- **Total: ~$0.246/hour** |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +**While stopped:** |
| 46 | +- Compute: $0/hour |
| 47 | +- Storage: 100 × $0.000139 = $0.0139/hour |
| 48 | +- **Total: ~$0.014/hour** |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +## Instance Types |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +We offer pre-configured instance types optimized for different workloads. View available instance types and pricing in the [Phala Cloud dashboard](https://cloud.phala.com/pricing). |

| 64 | +## GPU Instances |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +GPU instances are available for AI and machine learning workloads. Due to limited availability, GPU resources require a reservation. |

| 69 | + |
| 70 | +## What You Don't Pay For |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +- **Compute for stopped CVMs**: $0 when powered off (storage fees still apply) |
| 73 | +- **Setup time**: No charge for image pulling or creation |
| 74 | +- **Failed starts**: Not charged if CVM fails to start |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | +## Network and Regions |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | +- **Regions**: Currently available in US, with EU coming soon |
| 79 | +- **Pricing**: Same rates across all regions (all prices in USD) |
| 80 | +- **Data Transfer**: Each CVM includes bandwidth based on size |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | +## Legacy Free CVM Instance |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | +For legacy accounts with existing free CVM instances: |
| 85 | +- **Legacy instances** will be automatically reclaimed 6 months after their creation date |
| 86 | +- **Manual deletion** may occur at any time for inactive or non-compliant instances |
| 87 | +- **Migration recommended** to paid plans for continued service |
