How does turbopuffer pricing work?
The value metric is bytes, measured three ways: storage at up to $0.33 per GB, writes at up to $2.00 per GB and queries at up to $1.00 per PB, with namespaces included at '100K docs per namespace'. Pricing queries on data scanned fits a search database, where one query can touch a megabyte or a terabyte, so the bill follows the work done. Packaging sits on top of the meter. All three plans say 'Includes all database features', and the tiers sell deployment (Multi-Tenancy on launch and scale, Single-Tenancy and BYOC on enterprise), compliance (HIPAA-ready BAA, SSO, audit logs and IP allowlisting from scale, private networking and CMEK on enterprise) and support (Community Slack & Email, then a Private Slack Channel with 8-5 hours, then 24/7 with a 99.95% uptime SLA).
The motion is self-serve with a sales-led top. launch and scale end in 'Sign up', enterprise ends in 'Contact us', and each card prints its floor in the price slot: '$16/month minimum usage', '$256/month minimum usage' and $4,096 a month and up with a '35% usage premium'. The page opens directly on the three cards, then a cost calculator, then a twelve-question FAQ, then the footer. The type and the pixel-art pufferfish give it the feel of a developer tool, and the content follows that register: rates, specs and billing definitions.
Under the hood, each plan is a minimum commitment against one shared rate card. The minimum funds the service level and the meter carries the workload, and FAQ entries on whether unused commitments roll over and what happens beyond the minimum show the commitment is a floor. The enterprise premium is priced as a percentage of usage, so the cost of single-tenancy, BYOC and 24/7 support scales with the size of the deployment. The ceiling sign in front of each rate marks it as a maximum, which points to lower rates at higher volume. The idea most worth borrowing is the separation itself: one product for everyone, with the plan buying how it is deployed and supported.
