Pricing
Quave ONE offers two plan models to fit different infrastructure needs. Choose the one that best suits your organization:
- Quave ONE Direct — Infrastructure provided and managed by Quave. You use computing resources within Quave's regions with simple, usage-based pricing.
- Quave ONE Connect — Quave connects its platform to your own cloud account (AWS, GCP, Azure, OCI, any provider, or even on-premise). You pay your cloud provider directly for infrastructure, and Quave charges a monthly platform license fee.
Quave ONE Direct
With Quave ONE Direct, you deploy your applications on Quave-managed regions. Billing is based on your actual resource consumption, measured in zCloud Units.
zCloud Units: Building Blocks of Pricing
Each zCloud Unit consists of 0.5 vCPU and 0.5 GB of Memory RAM, offering a balanced and efficient configuration.
We charge a fixed amount per zCloud Unit. Under certain circumstances, there might be variations in the proportion of Memory and CPU. In such cases, we'll opt for the ratio that results in more zCloud Units.
Below you can find the pricing per region:
| Region | Price per zCloud Unit per month | Provider |
|---|---|---|
| US-3 | $7.5 USD | Quave |
| US-5 | $7.5 USD | Quave |
| EU-1 | $7.5 USD | Quave |
| EU-2 | $7.5 USD | Quave |
| EU-3 | $7.5 USD | Quave |
| EU-4 | $26.5 USD | AWS |
Network
We do not charge extra fees for network traffic in our supported regions. You can transfer data in and out of your applications without incurring additional costs.
However, in some regions our providers charge high fees for outgoing data. In those cases, we have to set an upper limit on the amount of outbound data we can include at no extra charge.
This generous policy means most applications can operate without concerns about network transfer fees.
If you need more information about increasing your network capacity, please contact our support team.
| Region | Free outgoing traffic per month per zCloud |
|---|---|
| US-3 | Unlimited |
| US-5 | 10 GB |
| EU-1 | Unlimited |
| EU-2 | Unlimited |
| EU-3 | 10 GB |
| EU-4 | 10 GB |
Disk Storage
We don't charge disk sizes up to 10 GB in databases using 6 zClouds or more. For databases using less than 6 zClouds, contact us.
Backups
We store backups up to 7 days for free. With a cap limit of 30 GB. If you need more than 30 GBs of backups or keep them alive for longer than 7 days, contact us.
Consolidating Resources
When you operate multiple containers (for apps) or replicas (for databases), the zCloud Units are cumulative, providing you with a unified overview of your resource usage.
Savings Plans
Take advantage of our Savings Plans to save on the Direct plan. By paying upfront for either a month or a year, you can benefit from our discounted rates:
- Approx. 13.33% discount per zCloud Unit when you pay monthly upfront.
- Approx. 6.67% discount per zCloud Unit when you pay annually upfront.
The Savings Plan discounts are applied as a percentage off your total monthly usage charge, after your resource usage has been calculated. This ensures the pricing remains accurate, transparent, and easy to understand.
Quave ONE Connect
With Quave ONE Connect, Quave connects its platform to your own cloud infrastructure — whether on AWS, GCP, Azure, OCI, any provider, or even on-premise. You pay your cloud provider directly for the underlying infrastructure, and Quave charges a monthly platform license fee based on your resource usage.
Pricing starts from $399/month. Check the Quave ONE Connect solution page to learn more and get in touch with our team.
Tier-Based Pricing
The monthly license fee is determined by the tier that matches your provisioned resources. The following tiers are currently available:
| Tier | Up to Memory / vCPUs |
|---|---|
| 1 | 25 GB / 25 vCPUs |
| 2 | 100 GB / 100 vCPUs |
| 3 | 250 GB / 250 vCPUs |
| 4 | 500 GB / 500 vCPUs |
| 5 | 1 TB / 1,000 vCPUs |
| 6 | 2.5 TB / 2,500 vCPUs |
| 7 | Over 2.5 TB / 2,500 vCPUs |
How Your Tier Is Determined
Your tier for each billing month is calculated based on your provisioned resources throughout the calendar month:
- At each full hour, Quave records the total vCPU and memory provisioned on the platform.
- At the end of the month, the median of all hourly measurements is calculated.
- The applicable tier is the one whose limit is equal to or greater than the calculated median.
This approach ensures that temporary usage spikes — such as autoscaling events or one-off operations — do not disproportionately raise the tier charged relative to your typical usage.
The license monthly fee covers one region and one provider. Additional regions or providers may incur extra fees.
Setup Fee
A one-time setup fee is charged to connect Quave ONE to your cloud infrastructure. The setup fee covers one region and one provider. Additional regions or providers may incur extra fees.
Minimum Contract
Quave ONE Connect requires a minimum 12-month contract.
