Redis Pricing
How managed Redis plans are priced, the difference between the two plan families, and what high availability costs.
Managed Redis is priced per plan.
| What | Rate | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| In-memory plans | from $8.80 / month | Priced by dataset size and throughput ceiling |
| Flex plans | from $8.80 / month | Larger datasets per unit of cost, at a lower throughput ceiling |
| High availability | 2× the plan | The replica is billed as a second unit of the same plan |
| Persistence | Included | Snapshotting to disk does not change the price |
What a plan fixes
A plan sets two things:
- the dataset size it can hold
- the throughput ceiling it is rated for, in operations per second
The plan price is the whole bill. Commands, connections, and bandwidth are not metered on top of it.
Two plan families
In-memory plans hold the entire dataset in memory. Use these when latency matters uniformly across your keys.
Flex plans keep hot keys in memory and colder keys on SSD. They offer roughly five times the dataset per unit of cost, in exchange for:
- a lower throughput ceiling
- higher latency on reads that miss memory
Flex is the better value for large datasets with a concentrated hot set. It is the wrong choice for a workload that reads uniformly across everything it stores.
High availability
High availability replicates the dataset onto a replica. It is not a separate add-on with its own rate — the replica is billed as a second unit of the same plan, so enabling it doubles the plan's price.
There is a capacity consequence as well. On in-memory plans the replica lives inside the plan's memory, so half the plan's memory is reserved for it: a plan sized at 1 GB holds a 0.5 GB dataset when high availability is on. Size the plan for the dataset you need after replication.
High availability is chosen when you create the database.
Persistence
Snapshotting to disk is included in every plan. Choosing a snapshot interval — or turning snapshots off — does not change the price.
Regions
Plans are available in a fixed set of regions, and the price for a given plan is the same in all of them. Choose the region for latency and data residency; it will not change what you pay.
Deleting a database
Deleting stops the billing and credits the unused part of the period. The dataset is destroyed with it — export or snapshot first if you need the contents.
