# 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).
53+
54+
## Account Tiers and Limits
55+
56+
| Tier | CVMs | vCPUs | Memory | Total Disk | Per-CVM Disk |
57+
|------|------|-------|--------|------------|--------------|
58+
| **Tier 1** | 8 | 16 | 32GB | 160GB | 80GB |
59+
| **Tier 2** | 16 | 32 | 64GB | 1TB | 256GB |
60+
| **Enterprise** | Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited |
61+
62+
New accounts start at Tier 1. Need more resources? Contact us to upgrade your tier.
63+
64+
## GPU Instances
65+
66+
GPU instances are available for AI and machine learning workloads. Due to limited availability, GPU resources require a reservation.
67+
68+
To request GPU access, please contact us at cloud@phala.network with your use case and requirements.
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
88+
89+
## Enterprise Support
90+
91+
For larger workloads:
92+
- **Volume discounts** for sustained usage
93+
- **Annual billing** options
94+
- **Custom support packages**
95+
- **99.9% uptime SLA**
96+
97+
