pricing
start free, on real data
The Community tier is not a demo mode. Real repositories, real storage, real compute — and a permanent free tier.

storage
At cost, with no markup
Community includes 10 GB of Earthmover-managed storage and one connected bucket of your own. You do not need a cloud account to get started.
Professional has no allocation. The first 10 GB is included, and everything above it is billed at Cloudflare R2's rate — at cost, with no markup. Connected buckets are uncapped, so if the data already lives in your own object storage, it stays there.
compute credits
You pay for nodes that are running
Compute services run on clusters you provision: some number of nodes, at a size you pick. Clusters scale to zero and spin back up on demand, so idle time costs nothing.
What can I do with 50 credits?
Enough to evaluate Compute properly on a real dataset — any one of these, every month, free.
-
50 hours of map tiles on a single XS node — roughly 200 separate map sessions.
-
12 hours of SQL queries on a single M node — about 30 minutes every weekday for a month.
-
45 minutes of openEO batch processing across four XL nodes.
Credits reset at the start of each month and do not carry over. Community clusters always scale to zero when idle; keeping a service warm is a Professional feature.
Node sizes run XS to 3XL, and a cluster pays for every node it runs. See the pricing docs for the per-size credit rates and sizing guidance.

questions
Frequently asked
What is included in the Community tier?
Real repositories, real storage, and real compute. You can create repositories, write and version data, serve it through Compute, and read anything published free in the marketplace. It is not a demo mode or a read-only preview.
Is the Community tier going away?
No — it is a permanent tier. Catalog access to open data stays free. Your compute credits reset at the start of each month; a Professional plan buys more credits and always-on services.
What happens when I run out of credits?
Your data stays where it is and stays readable. Your Compute services stop serving until you add credits by upgrading. Nothing is deleted.
Do unused credits roll over?
No. Your balance resets to 50 at the start of each month.
Why does my cluster shut down when I stop using it?
Community clusters scale to zero after 15 minutes idle, so you are not spending credits on an idle service. They resume automatically on the next request, usually in a few seconds. Always-on services are a Professional feature.
How does Professional pricing work?
It is customized to your organization — storage, compute, data transfer, and number of users. Contact sales for a quote tailored to what you actually run.
What kind of support is available?
Community gets our public Slack and the documentation. Professional adds priority email support, dedicated onboarding, and optional professional services.
