Pricing options
On-demand
Pay-as-you-go pricing. Resources are dedicated to your Pod and cannot be displaced by other users.Savings plans
Commit to a 3-month or 6-month term upfront for significant discounts on compute costs. When you stop a Pod, the savings plan automatically applies to your next deployment of the same GPU type.Storage pricing
Storage is billed per-second for container and volume disks, and hourly for network volumes. You are not charged if the host is unavailable.
Runpod is not designed for long-term cloud storage. Back up critical data to your local machine or a dedicated storage provider.
Account limits
- Minimum balance: Pods are automatically stopped when your account balance reaches $0. Pods with a network volume are stopped and their data is preserved, while Pods without a network volume are terminated and their data cannot be recovered. To avoid interruptions, enable low balance notifications or set up auto-pay.
- Spend limit: Default limit of $80/hour across all resources. Contact support to increase.
