PRICING CALCULATOR
What workloads do you have?
Data added per day
Our calculations will take the daily data generated/added and assume a 1-year data retention period. For example, if you generate 1 GB of compressed data daily, you will have 365 GB of data stored
Daily Volume
Storage Unit
GB
Is your data compressed?
On average we observe roughly 8x compression ratio on data in MotherDuck
Total: 45.63 GB* | 46 CU-hours
*Assuming 1 year of data at 8x compression
Congrats!
We estimate the Standard Plan will cover all your usage.
Free Plan includes 10GB and 10 CU-hours per month. Starter Plan includes 100GB and 100 CU-hours per month. Learn more here
When you exceed Storage and Compute included in the Plan, you pay for the additional Storage and Compute you consume.

FAQS
- 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 Standard Plan (which includes 100GB-months and 100 Compute Unit-hours).
- Thus they’d pay $25/mo for the Standard Plan, plus 265*0.08 = $21.2 for storage and 264*0.25 = $66 for compute.
- In total, they’d owe $25+$21.2+$66 = $112.20.
