Plan-based managed service pricing with hourly billing and monthly invoicing; some storage is billed separately via dynamic disk sizing, and some custom plans are quote-only.
↻ Billing notes
Aiven bills services by the hour and invoices monthly, with a minimum charge of one hour for any powered-on service. The pricing pages describe plan pricing as all-inclusive and transparent, and the documentation says charges stop accumulating immediately when a service is powered off. Free trials last 30 days, do not require a credit card, and include credits that can be used for paid services and features. The pricing page also says annual discounts or capacity beyond listed plans require contact with Aiven, while marketplace purchasing and prepaid discounts may also be available.

Available when standard service plans do not fit the use case. The documentation says custom plans are available for all Aiven service types, but the exact configuration and final price are quote-based. Limitations can depend on cloud provider, region, available instance types, and service type.
Additional local storage can be added independently, and the 2025 ClickHouse pricing blog says DDS is included in the service’s total cost and shown during service creation. The blog also says there are no hidden I/O or snapshotting charges for DDS, and that the cost of adding storage to a running service is shown in Aiven Console and on invoices.
PrivateLink
Not publicly disclosed
The ClickHouse pricing blog says some features, including PrivateLink, are included on both production and development environments in the Aiven for ClickHouse offering. However, the supplied documents do not disclose a separate public standalone price for PrivateLink on ClickHouse.
⚠ Aiven says its pricing is all-inclusive, but additional storage and some premium connectivity features can still change the bill. The service-pricing documentation explicitly calls out additional costs for features such as PrivateLink and additional storage, and the 2025 ClickHouse pricing blog says DDS storage is a charge per GB/month. The same blog also notes that backups tied to added storage are included in the total price shown when storage is added, so buyers should expect storage-related costs to be visible but still variable based on usage.
⚠ Cloud-provider taxes, card issuer fees, and marketplace procurement terms can affect what a buyer ultimately pays. Aiven says website and invoice prices include credit card and processing fees payable by Aiven, but some card issuers may add their own international transaction charges that Aiven cannot see or waive. The company also says purchases can run through cloud marketplaces and that pricing can vary with annual commitments or prepaid discounts, so final commercial terms may differ from the published monthly starting prices.
The public materials describe Aiven for ClickHouse as all-inclusive, fixed plan pricing rather than a build-your-own usage meter with surprise line items. Aiven also says services are billed by the hour and invoiced monthly, so the commercial model is predictable while still reflecting how long a service runs. The 2025 pricing blog adds that DDS storage is charged per GB/month and shown in the service summary, which means storage can still change the bill if you add it.
The supplied documents publicly show Startup starting from $155/month and Business starting from $654/month on the ClickHouse product page. Aiven also says newer plans launched in 2025, and older plans will be retired for new services on August 29, 2025. Because the supplied sources do not expose a full current tier table for ClickHouse, buyers should treat these as the publicly disclosed starting points rather than a complete catalog of every possible configuration.
Yes, but only some are publicly described. The documentation says there can be additional costs for features such as PrivateLink and additional storage, and the 2025 ClickHouse blog says DDS is a charge per GB/month. The same blog also says there are no hidden costs like I/O operations or snapshotting for DDS, and that added storage costs appear in the console and invoices.
Aiven’s service pricing documentation says the platform offers a free trial for 30 days with credits and no credit card required. The pricing page also notes that annual discount information or capacity beyond the listed plans requires contacting Aiven, and the service-pricing documentation says marketplace purchasing and prepaid discounts may be available. The supplied documents do not provide a public ClickHouse-specific discount percentage.
