Pricing at a glance

Redis pricing is positioned as flexible rather than flat-rate. The official pricing page keeps the public message simple, while the calculator and pricing blog explain the real billing logic: a free entry tier, plan-based cloud deployments, shard-based consumption for Flexible environments, and annual commitments for buyers who want discounts and cloud-commit flexibility. In practice, that means buyers should think about Redis pricing in terms of workload shape—memory, throughput, availability, region, and cloud provider—rather than a single universal list price. The public documents clearly support a no-cost Free tier, but they do not publish a complete fixed-rate catalog for every paid configuration. For that reason, the safest way to budget is to use the calculator for estimates and then confirm the final number in the Redis Cloud console or with sales. Redis also makes clear that some enterprise capabilities, such as Redis on Flash and multi-region Active-Active deployments, are tied to higher-end plans and can change the effective cost materially.

◇ Pricing model

Freemium plus usage-based cloud pricing with calculator-estimated shard rates, annual commitment discounts, and quote-only / sales-assisted options for some deployments.

↻ Billing notes

Redis publicly describes a free plan that is free forever and requires no credit card. Paid cloud pricing is not shown as a simple public list on the main pricing page; instead, the official calculator provides estimates and the blog explains a shard-based Flexible model and an Annual plan with significant discounts. The Annual plan uses a predefined yearly consumption commitment and can be paid with AWS or Google Cloud commits. Redis also notes that shard rates vary by cloud provider and region, so billing can differ by deployment location.

Add-ons and extras

Redis on Flash

Not publicly disclosed

Available in the Flexible plan; it uses DRAM and SSD together to store datasets and is described as delivering up to 70% cost savings compared to a pure DRAM deployment.

AWS and Google Cloud commits

Not publicly disclosed

Annual customers can use existing cloud commits to pay for Redis Enterprise Cloud resources.

Hidden and indirect costs

Worth budgeting for
⚠  Redis does not publish a single universal rate card on the main pricing page, and the official calculator explicitly says the displayed amounts are estimates. That means buyers may need to validate the exact cost in the Redis Cloud console or through sales before budgeting. For Flexible deployments, the blog also notes that shard rates vary by cloud provider and region, so the same workload can price differently depending on where it runs.
⚠  The pricing model is shard-based for Flexible plans, so total spend depends on memory, throughput, number of databases, and availability requirements. That structure can make the effective cost higher as replication, multi-region setup, or higher throughput increases the required shard count. Redis also indicates that certain configurations may be unsupported in the calculator, which suggests buyers may need a custom quote or sales guidance for edge cases.

Pricing FAQ

Yes. Redis states that the Free plan is totally free and requires no credit card. The plan is limited to a single non-highly available database with up to 30MB and 30 connections, but it includes core Redis features like Search and Query, JSON, Time Series, and Probabilistic data types. It is meant to let teams try Redis in a selected region across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.

Not really. The official pricing page itself is intentionally high level, and the calculator says prices shown are estimates rather than final quotes. Redis instead describes paid pricing through plan structures such as Fixed, Flexible, and Annual, with the exact spend determined by memory, throughput, deployment region, and cloud provider. Buyers should expect to validate final pricing in the Redis Cloud console or with sales.

Flexible pricing is described as shard-based. Redis says each shard has different memory and throughput characteristics and a different price per hour, and that shard rates vary between cloud providers and regions. The total cost is therefore driven by how many databases you deploy, how much memory they need, and how much throughput they consume.

Redis says customers who choose the Annual plan can enjoy significant discounts compared with Flexible plan prices. The blog also says the yearly commitment applies across multiple clouds and regions and can use AWS or Google Cloud commits. The exact discount percentage is not publicly disclosed in the supplied documents.
