All clients are subscribed to the PAYG (pay-as-you-go) billing plan. Edge Cloud resources are charged per minute for the time they are in use; current rates are listed on the pricing page.
To start using Edge Cloud services, add at least €4 or $4 to the account balance. To pay monthly, contact support.
Usage data for Cloud PAYG billing is collected approximately every five minutes. When accrued expenses reach the 4 EUR/USD threshold, the system deducts this amount from the existing balance. If the balance has insufficient funds, the system charges the amount to the payment method on file. After a successful payment, the billing cycle repeats when accrued expenses reach the 4 EUR/USD threshold again. If payment fails from both the Gcore balance and the payment method on file, Edge Cloud services are suspended. Deletion then follows the timelines in Data deletion. To avoid service suspension and maintain uninterrupted access to Cloud resources, top up the account balance in advance.

These resources are charged from creation until deletion, regardless of whether the Virtual Machine is running. The Windows license is charged separately. Outgoing traffic is free. Bare Metal servers and AI IPUs and GPUs are charged from the moment of creation until deletion, regardless of whether the server is running. IP addresses (floating IP, virtual IP, and reserved IP address), images, the Windows license, and outgoing traffic for Bare Metal are charged separately. AI GPU and IPU rates follow the Edge AI billing schedule. Managed Logging is charged based on the volume of stored logs.
