# Pricing and billing

> Gcore storage pricing and billing covers S3 Standard, SFTP, and S3 Fast rates, plans, invoices, and plan changes.

Gcore bills S3 Standard, SFTP, and S3 Fast as separate products — each appears as an independent line item on the monthly invoice. Charges are based on the amount of data stored, outgoing traffic, and API requests.

## Pricing

> [!NOTE]
>
> Storage volume is billed in GiB across all storage types. Egress traffic is billed in Gb.

### S3 Standard

PAYG charges based on actual usage with no monthly commitment:

| - | - | - |
| Storage | €0.04/GiB/month | \$0.044/GiB/month |
| Egress | €0.02/Gb | \$0.022/Gb |
| Egress to CDN | Free | Free |
| Ingress | Free | Free |
| Requests | €0.03/10K | \$0.033/10K |

Startup+ (€120/\$132 per month) includes 5,000 GiB of S3 Standard storage; usage above the quota is charged at the overage rate:

| Item | Price (EUR) | Price (USD) |
| - | - | - |
| Storage overage | €0.024/GiB | \$0.0264/GiB |

| Requests | €0.03/10K | \$0.033/10K |

Professional+ (€400/\$440 per month) includes 20,000 GiB of S3 Standard storage and is designed for higher-volume workloads:
