--- url: /en/pricing.md description: >- Describes the pay-as-you-go billing model for Cloud Native Build Community Edition (SAAS), covering free quotas and overage rates for repository storage, object storage, Events-CPU/GPU, Workspaces-CPU/GPU, and AI Credits, plus special privileges for non-profit organizations. --- ## Overview The currently used version is **Cloud Native Build-Community Edition**, each Top Organization is billed independently, and the billing is based on the usage scale of the previous natural month, **Pay-as-you-go**. Enterprise customers with compliance requirements such as network isolation and data security may select [Enterprise Edition](/en/more/enterprise.md). ## Billing Model Adopts the free quota + pay-as-you-go overage billing model. Once the free quota is exhausted, the use of related capabilities will be restricted. For example, when AI Credits are used up, AI capabilities such as NPC will be unavailable. Go to `Group - Settings - Usage Management`, bind [Tencent Cloud - Cloud Native Build Budget](https://console.cloud.tencent.com/cnb) to increase the usage limit. ### Resource Usage Fee | Billing Item | Free Quota | Excess Billing Standard | Usage Scenario | | :------------------- | --------------------: | ----------------------: | -------------------------------------------- | | Repositories Storage | 100 GiB | ￥1 /GiB/month | Git Objects | | Object Storage | 100 GiB | ￥1 /GiB/month | Artifacts, LFS Objects, Images & Attachments | | Events-CPU | 160 core-hours/month | ￥0.125/core-hours | CPU resources used by Events | | Workspaces-CPU | 1600 core-hours/month | ￥0.125/core-hours | CPU resources used by Workspaces | | Events-GPU | 160 core-hours/month | ￥0.5/core-hours | GPU resources used by Events | | Workspaces-GPU | 1600 core-hours/month | ￥0.5/core-hours | GPU resources used by Workspaces | | AI Credits | 500 credits/month | ￥0.05/credit | Token consumption of NPC and other AI capabilities | ### Storage Resource Usage Statistics Applicable billing items: Repository Storage, Object Storage. Billed usage: Monthly average of daily usage - Free quota. ### Computing Resource Usage Statistics Applicable billing items: * Events-CPU * Workspaces-CPU * Events-GPU * Workspaces-GPU Billed usage: Total monthly usage - Free quota. #### core-hours as Billing Unit * `8 cores` used for `1 hour` = `8 cores × 1 hour` = `8 core-hours`. * Build node specifications can be customized as needed. For details, see [Build Node](/en/build/build-node.md). #### Usage Calculation Rules * After launching a Cloud Native Build/Dev task, usage is frozen every 5 minutes. Frozen usage = 5 minutes × Node specification. * If insufficient quota is detected during pre-freezing, the task will be terminated immediately to prevent overage charges. * Upon task completion, usage is reported based on actual runtime. * If a build task spans across months, usage is counted in the calendar month when the task ends. #### freezing Calculation Example For a build task with 8-core node specification, the usage frozen every 5 minutes is: `8 cores × 5 min = 0.67 core-hours` ### AI Resource Usage Statistics Applicable billing items: AI Credits Billed usage: Total monthly usage - Free quota. Usage Scenario: Token consumption of NPC, CodeBuddy in Workspace, AI Code Review and other AI capabilities ## Free Quota Description **Repositories Storage:** the storage space occupied by Git objects, has a free quota of `100GiB`. **Object Storage:** the storage space occupied by Artifacts, LFS Objects, Images & Attachments, has a free quota of `100GiB`. **Events-CPU** has a free quota of `160 core-hours/month`, which is reset at the end of the month and does not carry over to the next month. | CPU(Cores) | Memory(GiB) | Free Quota Available Duration | | :--------- | ----------: | ----------------------------: | | 1 | 2 | 160 hours | | 2 | 4 | 80 hours | | 4 | 8 | 40 hours | | 8 | 16 | 20 hours | | 16 | 32 | 10 hours | | 32 | 64 | 5 hours | | 64 | 128 | 2.5 hours | **Workspaces-CPU** has a free quota of `1600 core-hours/month`, which is reset at the end of the month and does not carry over to the next month. | CPU(Cores) | Memory(GiB) | Free Quota Available Duration | Applicable Scenarios | | :--------- | ----------: | ----------------------------: | :-------------------------------------------------- | | 1 | 2 | 1600 hours | Supports 10 people, using 8 hours daily for 20 days | | 2 | 4 | 800 hours | Supports 5 people, using 8 hours daily for 20 days | | 4 | 8 | 400 hours | Supports 3 people, using 8 hours daily for 16 days | | 8 | 16 | 200 hours | Supports 1 person, using 8 hours daily for 25 days | | 16 | 32 | 100 hours | Supports 1 person, using 8 hours daily for 12 days | | 32 | 64 | 50 hours | Supports 1 person, using 8 hours daily for 6 days | | 64 | 128 | 25 hours | Supports 1 person, using 8 hours daily for 3 days | **AI Credits** has a free quota of `500 credits/month`, reset at month-end and does not carry over. ## Non-Profit Organization Privileges Eligible non-profit organizations can apply for permanent free usage privileges, including: **Repositories Storage**, the storage space occupied by Git objects, has a privilege quota of `6TiB`. **Object Storage**, the storage space occupied by Artifacts, LFS Objects, Images & Attachments, has a privilege quota of `60TiB`. **Events-CPU** has a privilege quota of `6400 core-hours/month`, which is reset at the end of the month and does not carry over to the next month. **Workspaces-CPU** has a privilege quota of `64000 core-hours/month`, which is reset at the end of the month and does not carry over to the next month. ### Application Method Please visit [Tencent Technology for Good Digital Toolbox](https://techforgood.qq.com/tools/toolsDetail/11) to complete the application for public welfare and charitable organizations.
