Simple. The way cloud pricing should be.

Why one pricing dimension makes cloud costs easier to understand, estimate, and optimize.

Cloud pricing gets in the way when teams cannot project total cost of ownership (TCO). A complicated model can slow development before it starts or produce an unexpected bill later. At Momento, we designed our pricing model around one principle: simplicity.

One dimension for usage

Momento charges $0.50 per GB for data moving into and out of Momento Cache. There is no separate storage charge. A customer can estimate the bill from one measurement: total inbound and outbound data.

The model includes a free tier so developers can try Momento quickly. The first 5 GB of inbound and outbound data each month is free, and a credit card is not required.

Predictable costs as applications grow

We do not have hidden charges. The single-dimension model remains easy to understand as an application grows, so customers can estimate costs and move into development with confidence.

Cloud and software-as-a-service pricing often presents a maze of options and billing dimensions. That complexity can delay a team’s next idea or result in unforeseen costs. Momento Cache has one pricing dimension, allowing customers to focus on building without billing surprises.

A cloud-scale cache must also scale up and down in real time to optimize TCO across a cloud database estate. We built Momento Cache to pair that elasticity with a straightforward pricing model.
