FAQS

Do you have a free trial?
Every new account gets a free 30-day trial. Explore and use as much as you want without worrying about costs.
How is compute usage measured?
Every second, we take a measurement of how much compute you’re using. This means that you only pay for the compute you’re using. No paying for idle resources, for “cluster time” that’s just waiting for IO or network to free up, or other common inefficiencies.
Is there a per query minimum?
It’s common in analytics data warehouses to have a one minute billing minimum. We at MotherDuck don’t think that’s fair. So our billing minimum is a single Compute Unit-second. That is, every query should cost a single Compute Second at a minimum!
What is a Compute Unit?
A MotherDuck Compute Unit is a CPU, simple as that.
What is an example of a real-world Compute Unit billing?
  • 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 Starter Pack (which includes 100GB-months and 100 Compute Unit-hours).
  • Thus they’d pay $25/mo for the Starter Pack, plus 265*0.08 = $21.2 for storage and 364*0.40 = $145.6 for compute.
  • In total, they’d owe $25+$21.2+$145.6 = $191.8.
Is there a limit to how many users I can have?
You can have as many users as you want in your organization.
Are there any long-term commitments available?
At this time, we are only billing monthly. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us.
