Pricing

Cube Cloud pricing is based on consumption of compute power which we measure using Cube Compute Units in 5 minute intervals. The units are priced based on which subscription plan you have chosen. Each plan has different features and functionality that you should review as you think about what is right for your business.

ℹ️What's a Cube Compute Unit?

A Cube Compute Unit is a way to measure compute power used to run Cube Cloud infrastructure. The price of a compute unit is determined by the Cube Cloud plan you're subscribed to.

Cube Cloud has four subscription plans that you can review here (opens in a new tab). The subscription plan you choose will determine the price per Cube Compute Unit (CCU). Each subscription plan determines the features, scalability, availability, as well as the speed and scope of support you may receive for your deployment. During your deployment, Premium, Enterprise, and Enterprise Premier customers can set Budgets to make sure you know your usage is on track and as expected.

Support Priority Definitions

We prioritize support requests based on their severity, as follows:

  • P0: The platform is severely impacted or completely shut down. We will assign specialists to work continuously to fix the issue, provide ongoing updates, and start working on a temporary workaround or fix.

  • P1: The platform is functioning with limited capabilities or facing critical issues preventing a production deployment. We will assign specialists to fix the issue, provide ongoing updates, and start working on a temporary workaround or fix.

  • P2: There are issues with workaround solutions or non-critical functions. We will use resources during local business hours until the issue is resolved or a workaround is in place.

  • P3: There is a need for clarification in the documentation, or a suggestion for product enhancement. We will triage the request, provide clarification when possible, and may include a resolution in a future update.

Overages and Payment Terms

Overages

If your usage of resources exceeds the balance of CCUs in your account, the CCU price will revert from the Annual Commit Price (available on the pricing page here) to the Standard Retail Price shown below:

Subscription PlanCCU Price (Standard Retail Price)
Premium0.45
Enterprise0.60
Enterprise Premier0.90

Upgrades

You may upgrade your CCUs to a higher-level subscription plan at any time by paying the difference in per-Cube Compute Unit pricing, or by asking to convert the price paid for the remaining CCUs into CCUs for the higher subscription plan at the CCU pricing for that plan (resulting in a lower number of available CCUs but upgraded to the higher subscription plan).

Terms

If payment is not received within the contract terms (usually Net-30) or for additional required payment for CCUs exceeding the balance of CCUs in your account, services may degrade or be suspended until new CCUs are purchased.

Future purchases and upgrades are subject to the pricing that is in effect at the time of the order. No credit is allowed for downgrading CCUs to a lower subscription plan level. Payments are non-refundable.
