Developer plan¶
The Developer plan runs on shared infrastructure. You choose a plan size when signing up or changing plans; each size has a fixed set of included resources. Developer plans include 25 GB of storage; usage beyond this and other included amounts is billed as overage. Plans support up to 3 vCPUs; for more capacity on shared infrastructure, see SaaS, or for a dedicated cluster, see Enterprise.
Each organization is tied to a single region. You can create multiple workspaces within one organization, all covered by the same billing plan. If you need workspaces in a different region, you must create a separate organization, which requires its own plan.
Billing¶
Developer plans are billed based on the following resources:
| Resource | Billing | Type |
|---|---|---|
| vCPUs | Number of vCPUs available. More than 3 vCPUs require a SaaS or Enterprise plan. Each vCPU size includes a number of active minutes. | Fixed. |
| Active minutes | An active minute is when any operation used a vCPU for a minute. See Active minutes. | Usage based. |
| Queries per second (QPS) | Number of queries per second (QPS). Each vCPU size includes a QPS allowance. See Queries per second. | Usage based when usage exceeds the QPS included in the plan. |
| Storage | Average of daily maximum usage of the compressed disk storage of all your data, in gigabytes. | Usage based when usage exceeds the 25 GB included in the plan. |
| Data transfer | When using Sinks, usage is billed depending on the destination, which can be the same cloud provider and region as your Tinybird cluster, or a different one. | Usage based. |
| LLM usage | LLM usage in AI tools within MCP and Explorations UI, and Tinybird Code. Includes $100 per billing cycle. | Usage based when exceeds the $100 included in the plan. |
Developer plans are billed monthly. Each invoice contains fixed costs plus usage-based costs calculated from the previous period. The billing period starts on the subscription date.
For the concepts behind active minutes, QPS, and limits, see Shared infrastructure.
