# Databases Pricing

Source: https://docs.sliplane.io/databases/pricing

Understand how database billing works in Sliplane.

Sliplane Databases are billed based on the compute and storage you choose for each database.

> **info**
>
> All prices are listed excluding VAT. VAT might be added depending on the billing address you provide during checkout.

## Price

Choose hourly, monthly or yearly [billing](#billing-period).

Prices below apply to **Germany** and **Finland**. For other regions, see the [pricing page](https://sliplane.io/pricing) or dashboard.

### Compute

Each database runs on a compute instance. **Shared** instances share CPU cores with other workloads and allow up to 100 connections, a good fit for development and smaller applications. **Dedicated** instances get dedicated CPU cores and allow up to 300 connections, for production and performance-sensitive workloads.

#### Shared instances

## Billing examples

All examples use the **Germany** region and monthly pricing.

A small project on a **Starter** shared instance with **50 GB** of storage:

* Compute: €19.00
* Storage: €10.00
* **Total: €29.00 per month**

A production database on a **Dedicated Large** instance with **250 GB** of storage:

* Compute: €394.00
* Storage: €50.00
* **Total: €444.00 per month**

## Billing period

Compute and storage use the billing period you select. Pausing a database does not stop billing.

You can choose how you commit to a database:

* **Hourly** — pay as you go with no commitment. This is the most flexible option and the baseline for the savings below.
* **Monthly** — commit for a month and save **20%** compared to paying hourly.
* **Yearly** — commit for a year and save **33%** compared to paying hourly.
