Pricing model¶
How metering and BDT billing work end to end. For per-service rates, see the main site or open a ticket.
Principles¶
- BDT only. No USD list price. No FX exposure for your CFO.
- Per-second metering for compute and most usage-based services, with a 60-second minimum.
- Free domestic egress over BDIX. International egress is metered.
- Discounts via commitment, not via "we'll cut a one-off deal." Published commitment-plan discounts are the same for everyone.
- Tags drive chargeback. Resource tags propagate into billing line-items and Cost Explorer.
Units¶
| Service class | Unit |
|---|---|
| Compute (VM) | vCPU-hour + GiB-RAM-hour |
| Bare Metal | Per-server-month |
| Block Storage | GiB-month (+ provisioned IOPS-month for PIOPS) |
| Object Storage | GiB-month + per 1k requests |
| File Storage | GiB-month |
| Networking — egress | GB (international); free domestic over BDIX |
| Load Balancer | Per-LB-hour + LCU |
| DNS | Per-zone-month + per million queries |
| Managed databases | Per-instance-hour by flavor + storage |
| Managed Kubernetes | Per-cluster-hour + worker VMs at standard rates |
| GPU VMs | Per-VM-hour by SKU |
| Inference (shared) | Per million input/output tokens |
| Backup / Snapshot | GiB-month at Object Archive rates |
| Colocation | Per-rack/cage-month + power overage in kWh |
Commitment plans¶
| Term | Discount range | Cancellation |
|---|---|---|
| 1 yr | ~20–35 % | Pro-rata refund minus 20% early-termination fee |
| 3 yr | ~35–55 % | Pro-rata refund minus 30% early-termination fee |
Apply commitments to resource pools (vCPU-hour pool, GiB-month pool) or to specific reserved instances (e.g., one specific flavor in one specific region).
VAT, AIT¶
- VAT 15% added per NBR rules
- AIT (Advance Income Tax) deducted at source by the customer where applicable; we issue the AIT-deduction-at-source certificate
Forex doesn't apply¶
There is no underlying USD ledger that could move. A BDT 100,000 invoice is BDT 100,000 — at any exchange rate, on any date. This is a non-trivial benefit if you are forecasting cloud spend across a multi-year planning horizon.
How to estimate¶
- TCO calculator — on the main site
- Sales-led sizing — for anything over BDT 25L/month commitment
- Spreadsheet — open a ticket; we'll send you a tailored model
Where to find published rates¶
- Per-service prices are shown in the main site's pricing tables
- The Billing portal shows your account's effective rate (after any commitments / discounts)
- Contractual rates for Enterprise / Regulated FI accounts are in your MSA / order form
