Hi, I am a little confused by the pricing page for Pulumi. At the very top it states that the
Team
version is charged at $0.37/resource but we get 200 free resources. This made me think that we would only get charged at $0.37 per resource beyond the 200 free resources limit. However, I happened to have scrolled further down the pricing page today (down to the FAQ section) where it states for the
How are resources billed?
question:
Copy code
Resources are billed hourly as Pulumi Credits. 1 Pulumi Credit is the price for managing one resource for one hour. The Price per credit for Team and Enterprise is $0.0005 and $0.0015 respectively.

For billing purposes, a partial resource hour used is billed as a full hour and we count any resource that's declared in a Pulumi program. This includes provider resources (e.g., an Amazon S3 bucket), component resources which are groupings of resources (e.g., an Amazon EKS cluster), and stacks which contain resources (e.g., dev, test, prod stacks).

You consume one Pulumi Credit to manage each resource for an hour. For example, one stack containing one S3 bucket and one EC2 instance is three resources that are counted in your bill.
Could someone please explain exactly how this works?

$0.37 is the price per month, $0.005 is the price per hour $0.0005 * 740 (hours per month) = $0.37
So what you actually get is 150000 free credits, which works out to 200 resources managed full time for a month

Ah! Ok, thanks for clearing that up. So there is only one price it’s just expressed in two different ways on that page
And we actually get charged at an hourly rate
