SQD Cloud Pricing

SQD Cloud uses a transparent pay-as-you-go pricing model. You only pay for the compute and storage resources your squids consume. Data from the SQD Network is provided free of charge, with no hidden fees or data egress costs.
Use our interactive cost calculator below to estimate your monthly costs based on your specific requirements.

Estimate Your Costs

Free Tier

Each account includes a free playground organization where you can deploy a single squid at no cost. This is perfect for testing, learning, and small projects. See playground organization for limitations and details.

Professional Organizations

To deploy production-ready squids with full resource configuration, upgrade to a Professional organization. Professional status unlocks powerful features and generous allowances:

Unlimited API Requests

No metering or throttling on GraphQL API requests. Scale your application without worrying about query limits.

Flexible Deployment Options

Deploy unlimited dedicated and collocated squids with full control over compute profiles.

Generous RPC Allowance

2 million RPC addon requests included monthly, then just $2 per additional million requests.

Priority Support

Get faster response times and dedicated assistance from our support team for production issues.

Billing Details

Billing is based on actual resource consumption and occurs monthly, typically on the first day of each month. You’re only charged for the hours your squids are running and the storage they use.
All compute resources are billed hourly. If you deploy a squid mid-month, you’ll only pay for the actual hours it runs, not the full month.
