Upstash Redis MVP (Redis only — not Kafka/QStash/Vector). PAYG: commands $0.20 / 100K (reads=writes); storage $0.25 / GB-month after first 1 GB free; bandwidth free to 200 GB/mo then $0.03/GB. Fixed tiers (no per-command): 250MB $10, 1GB $20, 5GB $100, 10GB $200, 50GB $400, 100GB $800, 500GB $1500 (+ published $/read region). Optional Prod Pack +$200 / DB-month. Global DB footnote: each write replicated to read regions counts as extra commands on PAYG (1 primary + 1 read region → 100K writes = $0.40) — enter write commands above. Free tier note only (250 MB + 500K cmds). Smoke (PAYG): 10M cmds × $0.20/100K = $20; 2 GB → 1 GB billable × $0.25 = $0.25; total $20.25.

How it works
- How much is Upstash Redis on PAYG?
- Commands are $0.20 per 100K (reads and writes billed the same). Storage is $0.25 per GB-month after the first 1 GB free. Bandwidth is free to 200 GB/mo, then $0.03/GB (as of 2026-11-03).
- What is the worked PAYG smoke check?
- 10M commands × $0.20/100K = $20; 2 GB storage → 1 GB billable × $0.25 = $0.25; total ≈ $20.25 (within 200 GB bandwidth).
- When should I pick a Fixed tier?
- Fixed tiers are flat monthly with no per-command charge: 250MB $10, 1GB $20, 5GB $100, 10GB $200, 50GB $400, 100GB $800, 500GB $1500, plus published $/read region. High command volume often crosses over from PAYG to Fixed.
- What is the Global DB command trap?
- Each write replicated to read regions counts as an extra command on PAYG. Example from Upstash FAQ: 1 primary + 1 read region → 100K writes = $0.40. Enter write commands and read-region count in this calculator.
- Is the free tier a billed path?
- No — Free (250 MB + 500K commands) is note-only. Optional Prod Pack is +$200 per DB-month. Kafka, QStash and Vector are out of this Redis MVP.
