SaaS plan¶
The SaaS plan runs on shared infrastructure and starts at 4 vCPUs. It follows the same limit model as the Developer plan (QPS, active minutes, storage overages) but is billed using a credit-based system and requires a minimum 12-month commitment. Minimum storage is 1 TB; a support package is mandatory.
For plans on dedicated infrastructure (your own ClickHouse® cluster), see Enterprise.
What's included¶
SaaS plan sizes start at 4 vCPUs. For available sizes and what's included in each, refer to your contract or contact sales.
Billing¶
SaaS plans are billed based on the following resources:
| Resource | Billing | Type |
|---|---|---|
| vCPUs | Number of vCPUs available. Starting at 4vCPUs. 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 $200 per billing cycle. | Usage based when exceeds the $200 included in the plan. |
Credits and billing cycle¶
SaaS plans are billed using credits. A credit is a unit of resource usage that can be consumed across Tinybird SKUs. The minimum commitment period is 12 months.
Bills are issued monthly based on credits consumed during the billing cycle (first to last day of the month). Invoices are issued when credits are purchased (for example, at contract signature or when buying additional credits).
Monitor usage and invoices¶
You can monitor credit consumption, remaining commitment, and infrastructure usage from your organization's dashboard. You can also review monthly usage receipts.
Support¶
The support package is mandatory on SaaS plans and is offered in tiers (Standard and Premier) as agreed in your contract.
Resize and manage¶
Resizing or making other changes to a SaaS plan requires contacting sales.
