Managing your bill

Choosing Your Billing Plan​

During your Free Trial you may choose what happens once your Free Trial ends. You can make this election by navigating to the Plans page in Settings in the MotherDuck UI:

  • If you select "Free", upon completion of the Free Trial, your organization will be under the Free Plan and its subsequent limitations.
  • If you select "Lite", upon completion of the Free Trial, your organization will be subject to the Lite Plan. You will also be prompted to add payment information.
  • If you select "Business", upon completion of the Free Trial, your organization will be subject to the Business Plan. You will also be prompted to add payment information.

Monitoring Usage​

You may monitor your organization's Compute and Storage usage from the Billing page.

Compute usage is displayed in Compute Unit-hours. Storage usage is displayed in prorated Gigabyte-days.

Gigabyte-days are calculated based on number of new bytes per day less any bytes that are not longer used after 7 days. As a minimal example, a 20GB database created on day 1 of a 30 month and deleted on day 2 will count for 0.67 GB days.

Usage

Viewing Your Invoice​

The "Billing" page also enables you to view your past invoices, as well as the current month's invoice thus far.

  • Lite & Business Plan users see their actual invoices.
  • Free Trial users see estimated invoices, fully discounted.
  • Invoices are not available for Free Plan users.

Incurred Storage and Compute costs are broken down per-user, as well as aggregated. Note that invoices are only broken down per-user for organizations with 500 users or fewer.
