InfluxDB Cloud Serverless offers a [Free Plan](#free-plan), a [Usage-Based Plan](#usage-based-plan) to pay as you go, and a discounted [Annual Plan](#annual-plan).

## Free Plan

New InfluxDB Cloud Serverless accounts start with the Free Plan that provides a limited
number of resources and data usage.
See [plan limits](/influxdb3/cloud-serverless/admin/billing/limits/).

## Usage-Based Plan

The Usage-Based Plan offers more flexibility and ensures you only pay for what you[use](/influxdb3/cloud-serverless/admin/billing/data-usage/).
Usage-Based Plans are based on consumption as measured by usage on the [pricing vectors](#pricing-vectors).

### Pricing vectors

The Usage-Based Plan uses the following pricing vectors to calculate InfluxDB Cloud billing costs:

* **Data out** is the total sum of the data (measured in GB) returned to the
  user to answer a query, also known as data transfer costs.
* **Query count** is the total number of individual query operations:
  * Each individual query operation—including those from external clients—is one billable query operation.
  * Failed operations aren’t counted.

* **Data In** is the amount of data you’re writing into InfluxDB Cloud (measured in MB).
* **Storage** is the amount of data you’re storing in InfluxDB Cloud (measured in GB/hour).

## Annual Plan

An Annual Plan offers a discount for a commitment to a specific amount of usage over set period of time. This plan uses the same pricing vectors and calculation methodology as Usage-Based Plans.
