ClickHouse
clickhouse.com ↗Pricing is consumption-based across several services (analytics DB, managed Postgres, ingestion, and data transfer), with distinct meters for compute, storage, ingestion, and egress. While this breadth is expected for PaaS, the need to sum multiple independent meters and plan-dependent compute rates can make total spend less predictable.

Watch out for 🕵️
- ⚠️Multiple independent metered dimensions for core DB (compute per unit/hour and storage per TB/month across Basic, Scale, Enterprise)
- ⚠️Separate metered data transfer egress charges (public internet per GB and inter-region per GB)
- ⚠️Additional metered ingestion service (ClickPipes) with both data per GB and compute per unit/hour
- ⚠️Separate managed Postgres metered per unit/hour
- ⚠️No inclusive allowances listed (all dimensions appear purely pay-as-you-go)
- ⚠️Tiered compute unit rates vary by plan (higher unit price on Scale and Enterprise), requiring plan choice to estimate cost
