Qdrant Cloud Billing & Payments

Qdrant database clusters in Qdrant Cloud are priced based on CPU, memory, and disk storage usage. To get a clearer idea for the pricing structure, based on the amounts of vectors you want to store, please use our Pricing Calculator.

What You Pay For

You can attach a label to a cluster and use it for cost attribution in consumption reports.

Billing

You can pay for your Qdrant Cloud database clusters either with a credit card or through an AWS, GCP, or Azure Marketplace subscription.

Your payment method is charged at the beginning of each month for the previous month’s usage. There is no difference in pricing between the different payment methods.

If a payment fails, your paid clusters can be suspended. See Cluster Suspensions.

If you choose to pay through a marketplace, the Qdrant Cloud usage costs are added as \$0.01 Resource Usage Units to your existing billing for your cloud provider services. E.g. if you create a Qdrant Cluster that costs \$85 in a month, 8,500 Resource Usage Units for Qdrant Cloud will be added to your cloud provider bill. A detailed breakdown of your usage is available in the Qdrant Cloud Console.

Note: Even if you pay using a marketplace subscription, your database clusters will still be deployed into Qdrant-owned infrastructure. The setup and management of Qdrant database clusters will also still be done via the Qdrant Cloud Console UI.

Note: If you choose to pay for your Qdrant Cloud clusters through a cloud provider marketplace, Qdrant Cluster creation is limited to paid clusters in regions of this cloud provider only. This is due to compliance requirements of the cloud provider. If you wish to run clusters in other regions or on other cloud providers, you can create additional accounts using a different payment method.

If you wish to deploy Qdrant database clusters into your own environment from Qdrant Cloud then we recommend our Hybrid Cloud solution.

Cluster Suspensions

When a payment fails, it will be retried several times. If it still fails after the retries, you receive a suspension notice, and your clusters are suspended 48 hours later. If you don’t reactivate them, you get a deletion warning seven days after suspension. Clusters are deleted seven days after that.

Free clusters can also be suspended. A free cluster is suspended after one week without use. If you don’t reactivate it, it’s deleted three weeks after the suspension notice. Paid clusters are never suspended for inactivity.

A suspended cluster can’t serve requests. Its data is kept until the cluster is deleted, but scheduled backups don’t run. Once deleted, a cluster can’t be recovered.

Reactivate a Suspended Cluster

How you reactivate a cluster depends on why it was suspended.

Free Clusters

In the Qdrant Cloud Console, open the cluster and select Reactivate your cluster, or select Reactivate in the cluster list. You can also use the Cloud CLI (qcloud cluster unsuspend <CLUSTER_ID>) or the Cloud API (POST /clusters/<CLUSTER_ID>/unsuspend).

Paid Clusters

When Qdrant suspends your clusters for a failed payment, it removes the card on file. To reactivate your clusters:

1. On the Billing Details screen in the Qdrant Cloud Console, add a credit card. Use a different card from the one that failed.
2. In the cluster list, select Reactivate for each suspended cluster. Adding a card doesn’t automatically reactivate your clusters.

Qdrant charges the outstanding balance to the new card in its next daily billing run, so you don’t need to pay it separately. If that payment fails, your clusters can be suspended again.

If you pay through the AWS, GCP, or Azure Marketplace, the same timeline applies. To reactivate your clusters, switch to a different, valid payment method on the Billing Details screen, then reactivate each cluster. If reactivation still fails, contact Qdrant Support.
