Understand volume discounts

As of July 1, 2026, every Grafana Cloud Pro customer on the latest plan earns volume discounts based on how much you consume. As your usage grows, your effective rate decreases automatically.

Your monthly Grafana Cloud price includes a base amount of usage for each product. Usage beyond that base is billed per product at a rate based on the volume you consume. Volume discounts are applied as follows:

Tier	Rate
Tier 1	Standard rate
Tier 2	Discounted rate
Tier 3	Deeper discounted rate

Volume discounts have the following characteristics:

Automatic: Discounts apply as soon as your usage for a product crosses into Tier 2. There’s nothing to enable, sign, or renegotiate.
Per product: Each product, such as metrics, logs, and traces, earns its own volume discounts independently.
Based on current usage: Volume tiers reset each billing period, so your discount matches what you consume that month, whether your usage goes up or down.

Discounts typically begin at around $500 per month of spend per product and deepen from there. Your monthly included usage stays the same.

Understand marginal tiers

Each band of usage is billed at its own rate. Crossing a threshold only changes the rate for the next band, not your whole bill. Your effective rate is the blended average across all of your usage. As your usage enters the higher tiers, that blended rate decreases.

For example, if the base rate is $6.50 per 1,000 series, with volume discounts, if you consume 500,000 active metric series in a month, your effective rate is $5.77 per 1,000 series.

Note
The following examples might not reflect the current rates. See the pricing page for the latest rates.

Usage band	Marginal rate	Cost
First 100,000 series	$6.50 per 1,000	$585 (first 10,000 series included)
Next 100,000 series	$5.90 per 1,000	$590
Next 300,000 series	$5.50 per 1,000	$1,650
Total: 500,000 series	$5.77 per 1,000	$2,825

Without volume discounts, your effective rate is $6.50 per 1,000 series.

Usage	Rate	Cost
500,000 series	$6.50 per 1,000	$3,250/mo

Your effective rate drops from $6.50 to $5.77 per 1,000 series, an 11% savings. The same framework applies across every Grafana Cloud product.
