Billing & Pricing
This guide explains Rabata.io’s pricing structure and how billing works for our storage and backup services.
Pricing Overview
Rabata.io offers transparent pricing for our services:
- S3 Hot Storage: $0.01 per GB of storage per month, $0.01 per GB of egress (ingress is free)
- S3 Backup: $49 per 10 TB of storage per month billed per 10 TB increment
Billing Calculation Method
We use daily pricing for our services. The daily rate is calculated as the monthly rate divided by 30.4167 (average days in a month).
S3 Hot Storage Billing
For S3-compatible storage, we charge based on the actual amount of storage used each day:
- Monthly rate: $0.01 per GB
- Daily rate: Monthly rate ÷ 30.4167
Your monthly bill is calculated by adding up the daily charges for the entire billing period.
Data Transfer Costs for S3 Hot Storage
- Ingress (uploading data): Free - there is no charge for uploading data to Rabata.io
- Egress (downloading data): $0.01 per GB - you are charged for the amount of data downloaded from Rabata.io
Example Calculation
If you store:
- 10 TB for 14 days
- 20 TB for 16 days
Your bill would be calculated as:
- 14 days × 10 TB × $0.01/GB ÷ 30.4167 ≈ $46.03
- 16 days × 20 TB × $0.01/GB ÷ 30.4167 ≈ $105.21
Total monthly bill: $46.03 + $105.21 = $151.24
S3 Backup Billing
For the backup service, we charge a flat rate of $49 per 10 TB, regardless of the actual disk space used:
- Monthly rate: $49 per 10 TB
- Daily rate: Monthly rate ÷ 30.4167
If you use more than 10 TB, the charge is multiplied by the number of 10 TB increments.
Data Transfer for Backup
- There are no additional egress fees for the backup service
- Egress traffic should not exceed 2 times the storage amount
- Ingress (uploading to backup) is free
Example Calculation
If you have:
- 10 TB of storage for 10 days
- 22 TB of storage for 20 days
Your bill would be calculated as:
- 10 days × 1 (10 TB increment) × $49 ÷ 30.4167 ≈ $16.11
- 20 days × 3 (22 TB = 3 × 10 TB increments) × $49 ÷ 30.4167 ≈ $102.27
Total monthly bill: $16.11 + $102.27 = $118.38
Billing Cycle
Billing cycles run on a calendar month basis. At the start of each month, we’ll generate an invoice for your usage during previous month period. Payments are automatically processed using your preferred payment method.
