What does Redis actually cost?

Or pick a startup stage:

Same load around the clock — background jobs, queues, cron work

Compute cost only, computed live from published vendor rates and a real load test against a live Redis instance — your Redis traffic never leaves the platform's private network, so bandwidth is excluded here the same way every vendor below already excludes it for their own managed database products. Every vendor is sized to survive the peak rate you set, whatever your traffic pattern — the pattern only changes what metered vendors (Lizard, Upstash pay-as-you-go) actually get billed for, since flat-tier vendors charge the same for the capacity whether it's busy or idle. "Custom" means the workload exceeds that vendor's largest published self-serve tier. Last verified: August 2026.
